Multiple SEGV's? Heh. That sounds weird. Only on ia64.. Hmm. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd guess it is a compiler bug or somesuch, if it works on 7.2 and not on 7.1. I'll have a look sometime though.
xchat 1.8.9 is errata for all platforms now. Does the problem still exist on ia64 with the current xchat erratum release?
Not mission critical, defering for future.
I haven't had a chance to poke at this yet. I'm hoping to go through all open ia64 bugs soon though.
Seems to be working now, whatever it was. Could have been a bug that is now fixed in current bits, or perhaps a wonky kernel or something from days gone by.
