() (gdb) #0 0x00000000 in ?? () #1 0x00000000 in ?? () I wrote on the list that ./temacs --help also crashes, which you said was probably unrelated, and I believe that others here said it does that for them too, on other platforms. --help crashes because init_obarray() hasn't been called, which in turn means that Vobarray is NULL. Since Vobarray is NULL, emacs will segfault when doing intern("emacs-version") at emacs.c:bug_reporting_address(). I'll try to debug this, thanks to Ryan for giving me access to the machine where this goes belly up.
