 Please do not paper over the problem but fix the application bugs instead.
 Compiling it with -g and using gdb on the core should tell you where it
 dies.

 Thanks,

 The error happens inside registerProtocols2 in file wmapp.cc, line 238.

 I can't see any problem in the code, and as it works when the compiler optimizations are disabled, I guest it is a gcc bug. Unfortunatelly, I don't have enough knowledge about SPARC assembler and ABI to follow the generated code.

 Cheers

this was right.  the problem was passing the address of a pid_t to a
function requiring at least long alignment.  i've fixed this and it
now runs for me.
