[Vm-dev] Getting a segfault on vm built from sources on gentoo Linux on an amd64

[Miles Georgi]

David, thanks, I'll give that a try

I did use a debugger to see where it died and it didn't really reveal
much.  It actually looked quite odd that it died where and why it did.

I won't bother posting information about that until I have given your
approach a try

Thanks again!

MIles
