ncftp2 is dying with "Illegal instruction, core dumped" in Bookmark.c\491
at the line:

if(rename(path2,pathName)==0) 

at this point, running as root, the values for me were:
path2="/root/.ncftp/hosts"
pathName="/root/.ncftp/bookmarks"

these are both declared as type string, which is a 256 byte char array. 

The program bombs in libposix.

Anyone else seeing this?
