>Description:
This is my programme: http://logout.sh.cvut.cz/~wilx/imgcmp

This executable (linked against math/fftw3 and graphics/gd) crashes GDB with segmentation fault when it is loading it:

logout::wilx:~/imgcmp> gdb ./imgcmp

This GDB was configured as "i386-marcel-freebsd"...zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  gdb ./imgcmp

When I compile the source on FreeBSD 5 I get the same segfault. This is pretty bad problem for me because I cannot debug the programme (I know it is buggy.).

I can attach the source code if it shows to be necessary to find out the root cause and to fix it.
