some weeks ago i posted a core dump of pw/siag obtained on NetBSD
sparc 1.4.1 in the mailing list. It was some late 3.3.x but even 3.0.8 
which built flawlessly on NetBSD 1.3.2 crashed similarly on 1.4.1.

Meanwhile i tried out all 3.4.x relaeases of siag with similar results 
(core dumps on NetBSD, everything fine on linux/intel and
Solaris7/sparc).

For siag 3.4.2, there is something new - the core dump occurs much
earlier, again in strcasecmp.


To sum up the situation:

- "siag old" (3.0.8?) build roght out of the box on NetBSD 1.3.2.
- All versions including "siag old" dump core in strcasecmp() while
  building up their menu trees - with the exception of siag 3.4.2 which
  dumps core during initilisation of its GUI, but also in strcasecmp().
- All versions of siag i tried build an run just fine on my SunOS
  5.[67] sparcs.

I have the feeling that this is more a problem of this specific
release of NetBSD than it is a problem of siag.

My question: have there been any changes in the libraries between
1.3.2 and 1.4.1 (a.out) or compiler or memory layout of applications
which could explain this? Have there been any such changes in 1.5
which could lead to a less problematic behavior?

Thanks for any hint

Michael

PS: enclosed a (typical) core dump of pw 3.4.2
