That environment variable tells libstdc++ to not use memory pooling as an STL optimization; each operation will be done with a new/delete pair instead. This slows down the application, as more system calls need to be made. However, I think there's a bug in the latest libstdc++'s memory pooling that's causing crashes. I tracked down a similar kmail crash bug (but didn't know how to fix it). I'm not sure how to go about reporting this to the gcc maintainers, since they want small test cases, not massive source snapshots. If this is the same bug as the kmail one, this should be easier to track down, as the kmail crash happened intermittently. -- Craig Howard >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
