TightVNC 1.2.9 - and the fault can also be triggered by just telnetting to

I already gave that - REinserting immediately below.
(It was in the second paragraph, which you inserted your reply above.)
For those not familiar with AMD, the Athlon
XP2000+ is an ix86 32-bit CPU.

GDB seems unable to - this is how it started off when analysing the core 
dump:

I have no idea what this "dwarf error" is.
