Well, I am not willing to switch to another memory allocation scheme yet,
but I am willing to take a closer look at the problem. However,
gcc-3.2 seems to be incompatible with all existing object code.
Does this mean that I have to recompile X?  :^<

Why does it crash anyway?
Has memory allocation changed in the mean time?
Is standard C++ no longer standard?
