Re: Seg Fault w/ cfenvd

[Mark . Burgess]

The signals seems to be signal 11 (seg fault) from gdb, but the stack
has been destroyed y something. It will be difficult to figure out what the
cause is. One problem that several folks have had is in mixing versions
of Berkely DB. Be careful you haven't compiled with the header file from
one version and the lib from another.
