<P><FONT SIZE=2>> Also, I have never come across a sigbus in my code before so </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I tried to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> compile </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> it under libc6 to see if it would make a difference. The </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> result on libc6 is</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> a segv. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>This puzzles me a bit, as SIGBUS is sent when two things happen</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>at the same time:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>1 - a memory value is fetched which size is not aligned with the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> bus (eg, a 32 bit value not aligned on 32 bits)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>2 - the CPU can't do two reads to rebuild the value</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>i386 can do step 2, so there should never be SIGBUSes on i386.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Have a look at your headers, maybe SIGBUS has a value which is</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>also allocated to another signal, and this might tip you on</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>what's happening ?</FONT>
