It seems the gst.im gets corrupted after the first invocation.



How to reproduce it on my i386 box:

$ ./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4 --with-tk=/usr/lib/tk8.4 &&
make
....
$ ls -l gst.im
-rw-r--r-- 1 tgg tgg 1630820 Dec 14 16:06 gst.im
$ cp gst.im gst.im-
$ ./gst -S --image=./gst.im tests/AnsiLoad.st
"Global garbage collection... done"
Loading package SUnit
Loading Ansi.st
Loading AnsiDB.st
Loading AnsiInit.st
"Global garbage collection... done"
$ ls -l gst.im*
-rw-r--r-- 1 tgg tgg 2827244 Dec 14 16:14 gst.im
-rw-r--r-- 1 tgg tgg 1630820 Dec 14 16:06 gst.im-
$ ./gst -S --image=./gst.im tests/AnsiLoad.st
gst: Aborted

Replacing gst.im with gst.im- does work, but modifies the image again.
Also notice "Global garbage collection... done" is displayed twice.
(I'm using embedded libsigsegv0)
