What version are you using?  The last time I tried it (on 3.0?), I got the
same thing.  Users of other m68k ports reported the same problem.  The
thing is, I don't believe that it should even be doing a longjmp.  That
occurs inside of an error recovery mechanism that I don't think should
ever get called.  To me, this indicates that something really screwy is
going on in there somewhere, but I don't know what; the code is a bit too
dense for me to go and work my way through it at the moment :-(

If anyone has gotten it to work on an m68k-based system, please let me
know...

Later.
