 The important part here is probably not that it's Solaris but that
 it's sparc, and the code has probably done something either
 endian-dependent or that violates proper integer alignment.
 
 That said, I can't see anything wrong in the code paths that match the
 stack trace, so I guess one question is: does the libfetch package
 match the fetch package? I could imagine something breaking if, say,
 the libfetch package was built years ago with a different compiler,
 but even that isn't all that likely.
 
 It would be helpful if you (or someone who can reproduce the problem,
 perhaps on netbsd sparc) could recompile libfetch and fetch with
 debugging information and run them in the debugger to see exactly
 where the crash happens. :-|
