If I set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1, to force use of LinuxThreads, everything is fine.
If I don't, so I'm running under NPTL, I see crashes like this:

(In this particular example I have changed the defines to avoid use of getaddrinfo; but I see a similar crash under that routine too.)
This happens both with the default versions shipped with the OS, and also with version 2.2.24 (which I downloaded and built).
This is almost certainly something environmental in my system - but I'm at a loss to know what, and not finding much useful with google. Can anyone help?
Regards,
Edward.
