I get a segfault, but I also get a segfault after rebuilding libsidplay1 with g++ 4.1.1-15. (For that matter, both the ocp and libsidplay binaries are built with the exact same version of g++, because I had to rebuild ocp to get a useful backtrace.) Whatever this dependency is on the same version of g++ being used, I'm pretty sure it's a sourceful bug that needs to be fixed. Requiring that packages be built with the same version of g++ when there's no upstream ABI breakage in the compiler is a crude hack, not a proper bug fix; and it doesn't seem to even be a useful workaround, in my experience. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
