thanks.  fyi, the scene code crashes ("segfault") alpha.10064268 on one machine,
but not on another; the only difference being, afaict, the optimisation flags
provided in the package build scripts.  using "-march=core2" works (gcc 4.8.2),
using "-march=haswell" crashes (gcc 5.5.0).  :-)

_you_ will have to wait 'til Wednesday!  :-)

IIRC, the build scripts end up with -march=native by default. Are you 
offering us the compilers 'native' translation or did you specify those 
architectures specifically on the two machines?

explicit spec.  Slackware package build scripts have a variable used to
set/append CFLAGS etc, I used the 'haswell' in both '-march' and '-mtune'.

OK. This leads me to wonder what more, or less, these spawn than 
'native' given the compilers should do the right things with native for 
an optimized compile on the local machine.

In short, wondering if the hard coded architecture the problem?

very likely, although, as often, it's unclear whether "the fault" lies with the
compiler or the source.  guessing that some code (in spline, or text object) is
vulnerable wrt optimisation(s).  I will rebuild the alpha with 'core2' options,
sometime in the next few days; I expect the scene code will work then.

POVing under the influence? I'm not so sure...
