>Description:
        Code mentioned in How-To-Repeat: obtains SIGSEGV:
6.0-RELEASE i386> ./ddd
f=0
cur=-1 max=2.14748e+09
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

        due to stack frames damage, as we can see:

        Step-by-steping under debugger shows, that SIGSEGV generated during ret

        I think, this problem similar or connected with one in the

        compiled by following command line

        cc -g -W -Wall -m32 -static -B/usr/lib32 -o ddd ddd.c

        with 2) and 3) library sets ( mentioned in Environment: )
        produces SIGSEGV during execution under each of
        1) 6.2-RELEASE amd64
        2) 6.2-RELEASE i386 
        3) 6.0-RELEASE i386 

        Another trouble with 1) library set that the same code
        produces SIGILL under both i386 systems while still produce SIGSEGV
        under amd64. However we can see damaged stack frames in the ./ddd and
        normal in the ./ddd.CURE (compiled w/ -DCURE, see Fix: )

>Fix:
        Unknown for both SIGSEGV and SIGILL.

        SIGSEGV effect too subtle, because as workaround we can use, for
        example, #ifdef CURE cludge (see ddd.c text), which produces
        workable binary with -DCURE and 2) or 3) library sets.

        SIGILL with 1) library set effect possibly requires more accurate
        building of the /usr/lib32 under amd64.
