I experienced similar problems years ago when I wrote a program which
was supposed to run under Linux, Solaris and SunOS. In the end I was
able to track it down to pointer problems (using Electric Fence) - at
the time, Solaris seemed to be more tolerant with regard to certain
pointer issues than Linux. Hence, that would be what I'd be looking for.
