The failure on PowerPC (at least) is clearly a regression in 1.8.5.  I
used to have access to a GNU/Linux PPC box but unfortunately, I no
longer do.

Can someone please help us fix this?  Viewing the backtrace at
segfault-time might already give hints.  An account on such a machine
would be even better.  :-)

Thanks,
Ludovic.
