With this 8-year old Anthro degree, I'm not actually qualified to think such thoughts.
But we know Simon's not having PLT faults...  So it's either a kernel config option or a
runtime linker option.  And according to the PLT trails on port-alpha, something was
changed in the toolchain sometime just before the 1.5 branch to cause this to happen
occasionally with many large and threaded applications on the Alpha; be it pine, mysql,
or gimp, or XFree86 4.  The suggestion (as far as gimp is concerned) is that -Wl,-E fixes
it.
