I believe the issue was that QEPCAD was reading input using a `char`, and occasionally checking to see if this was EOF, which is negative (-1). But on the failing architectures, `char` defaults to unsigned, so it was getting 255 instead of -1, and we ended up with infinite loops. I'll upload a new version of the package containing a patch, which I confirmed works on armhf, shortly. Doug
