 Hi,
 
 I have made the following findings:
 
 I compiled amule with debugging symbols from pkgsrc source in the RPi4
 board including amule-cmd and amule-daemon options. I run the daemon
 and the amulecmd commandline application connected fine to the daemon.
 I could see the downloading files progression working fine but after
 some minutes it bombed out.
 
 I filled a bug report upstream here:
 
 https://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=82341.0
 
 It seems to be a similar problem in FreeBSD with a backtrace but no
 response there.  :-(
 
 Just for curiosity, I installed binary amule package in my amd64
 desktop machine. The situation is even worse, Amule segfaults even
 before the user interface window is shown.
 
 Looking with gdb the problem was in /security/crypto++. The pkgsrc Makefile:
 
 CPPFLAGS+=              -DCRYPTOPP_DISABLE_ASM -fPIC
 
 I just tried blindly to remove -DCRYPTOPP_DISABLE_ASM, recompiled
 cryptopp and amule and user interface window appeared ok. Program
 worked fine after some time and become irresponsive and eating memory
 as in the beginning of this bug report.
 
 Sorry, my understanding about all of this is very limited. If you
 think I could do some more tests while upstream replies please let me
 know.
 
 
 Regards.
 Ramiro.
