I have attempted to compile and use xloadimage (v3.01 and the previous version
from export.lcs.mit.edu) only to have it core dump (segmentation error) every
time.  Everything compiles with only minor warnings but everytime I try to run
it it pukes and dies.

When I bring it up under gdb and run it, I find the segmentation fault occures
just after the declaration for main().  The same error occures weither I use
gcc (1.39) or the native C compiler.

I'm running on an Integrated Solutions 68K20, using 4.3 BSD (4.0d).  The server
is my own port of the MIT server (with all 18 patches applied).

I'm thinking there something prior to main(), either in the startup code or
declarations, that is causing this problem.  Although I'm not sure how to verify
this.

If anyone else has experienced ths problem and/or has a fix for it, please
send it to me. I would also be happy to hear any hints or ideas I can try to
track down this problem.   I'm tired of beating on this one client trying to get
it to work.
