   Thanks, but no luck studying that, at least not for my level of   
   understanding, which is ground floor at best. The 44,149 lines   
   of strace output end with...   
      
   --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SI_KERNEL, si_addr=NULL} ---   
   getpid()                                = 3616   
   rt_sigaction(SIGABRT, {sa_handler=SIG_DFL, sa_mask=[ABRT],   
     sa_flags=SA_RESTART}, {sa_handler=0x850aafa, sa_mask=[],   
     sa_flags=0}, 8) = 0   
   exit_group(1)                           = ?   
   +++ exited with 1 +++   
      
   And there are various "No such file..." messages before that.   
   But there are a zillion "No such file..." messages starting   
   at line#3 of the output, and I'm not seeing any particular   
   reason for the SIGABRT signal. (Also trying --trace=%file   
   didn't make the output any easier for me to sift through.)
