  For some unknown reason gcc 3.x produces a binary which crashes on
rendering. gcc 2.x produces a working binary.

you are using?

  gcc 3.x does not produce faster binaries in a sparc-solaris system
than gcc 2.x (seemingly their optimization efforts have been put into
the PC side alone).
  Just try compiling with gcc 2.
