i don't know. if I were you, I'd start with a fresh build to avoid any stupid
mistakes from makefiles interfering with debugging. I'd build kaffe with
--enable-debug and --with-engine=intrp

time for everyfody's favorite passtime: debugging. Please read
FAQ/FAQ.debugging , run kaffe in gdb or ddd (the last one is a graphical gdb
frontend) and post the backtrace from the crash. I hope that will yield some
cles on what's going wrong.
