Correct.
Upon the discovery that mcopidl was causing the build
to tank, I dug under arts' work subdir and planted
your copy there.  Sho'nuf crasheroonie!  ;)

Even recreating the particular cmd lines, y'know sans
build environment, even under gdb, etc.

If you just type mcopidl you'll get its little help
blurb, and that much does _not_ crash.

Since it didn't help to use y'all's binary, I kept the
ones I built here, I can prove things were built as
clean as possible this way.  ;)
That's why I think it is not being reproduced on
rabarber because _the system itself_ is not up &
running on a -current world -- am I correct on this
point?  (Maybe Aug.1 is already "too old".)
The gcc342 system compiler has created everything
here as fresh as a daisy (well almost ;) .  And I have
built world & kernel many many times, such that even
gcc342 has rebuilt itself many times.

I sure wish someone reading this discussion would
try it for me in that manner.  I know since KDE takes
a long time to build, most ppl will install the
packages, but so far even those won't run right
on this puny p2.

The mcopidl is for developers IIUC, so most end-users
will not even see this problem any way at all.

I guess next I will need to hack makefiles to let it
build with debug options, y'know all that stuff...  ;)

Thank you for helping again.
If we ever can crack this, I'll sure let y'all know.
