True.

As an addendum to the bug report, I might add that the differences between
"clean" segv Abort exits on RH 7.2 and SuSE 9.0 as opposed to RHEL3 acting
differently being caused by NPTL in the kernel may actually be supported by
the fact that the original poster cited the problem under SuSE 9.1, and he
privately relayed to me that his *cabe processes were hanging as well.
SuSE 9.1 uses a 2.6 kernel, which also has the NPTL changes.  I'm not sure
how much weight that adds to the supposition, but it seems to point at
least a little more steadily to the cause of the discrepancies, I should
think.

I shouldn't worry about the -way- it crashes, so much as the fact that it
crashes at all.  Both result in a segv--it's a matter of how cleanly they
exit.  Eliminate the crash entirely and how it crashes won't matter.  :)
