Hi,

Are 1.4.1 binaries incompatable with 1.4 systems for some reason?

I cross compiled a program for someone with a Mac68k running 1.4 and
it dumps core. Not initially - it can print out a sign-on message -
but after it gets going.

The program is pretty simple, it just opens some files for read and write
and reads and writes them. :-)
