I also did not get a segfault in my i386 sarge chroot. I'm helpless - how can one debug this? The only idea I have, since Prabhu seems to be familiar with gdb, would be to recompile dvipdfm without stripping and optimising. I think this should be easily possible in the following way: # you need a deb-src entry in sources.list that points to unstable or sarge apt-get source tetex-bin cd tetex-bin-2.0.2 export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="noopt,nostrip" dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -rfakeroot Or you just run "fakeroot debian/rules configure", then go to the subdirectory texk/dvipdfm, edit the Makefile (change -O2 to -O0 in CFLAGS) and call make dvipdfm.
