	Such a different behavior of Linux vs other platforms may well be the
sign of uninitialized variables (in particular pointers).  Linux seems to be
sometimes quite permissive in this respect, i.e. it does not necessarily make
the program segfault when dereferencing an invalid pointer.

	Of course that's not much of an help either...
