probes causing segmentation faults on solaris

[Paul Box]

Hello Group

I apologize if this message has been posted to the list already.  We
have had some network problems that has included lost emails, and I'm
not certain that my last post made it to this list.

I have recently (with much effort and input from Marcus) rebuilt
gcc-2.95.2, hdf5, and swarm 2.1 on our sun netowrk (sunos 5.7 ultras), 
and tried building some of the swarm demos to test the configuration
out.  After several tries with various combinations of gcc and native
linkers, I now have some of the swarm apps running with gcc and the
gnu assembler and linker.

My problem comes when I try to run anything with a probe in it
(heatbugs, or the simpleObserverBug2 in the tutorial, or practically
anything swarm).   The programs halt with a segmentation fault.  The
output in gdb appears as such for simpleObserverBug2/bug:
