Did you try building a 64-bit version with the same hack? I would not expect libmagic to be related to the crashing, but there is some circumstantial evidence to say it is worth looking at. Most notably, the support for that feature was added very late in the dev cycle and you said that RHEL 4 binaries from trunk were working for you until recently. > As a side note, it would be nice to actually be able to add a > --without-libmagic and have the configure script work without hacking.

I think I saw the developers discussing this on IRC, so I suspect it will be fixed if it does not work. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
