Stephan,

I get the same SegFault using OSL on my Linux box running Redhat 9.0 
which uses glibc-2.3.

[mgalati at localhost Run]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.20-9 #1 Wed Apr 2 13:42:50 EST 2003 i686 
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[mgalati at localhost Run]$ rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.3.2-27.9

EKK0006I Optimization Solutions and Library Version 3.0 (Jan  7 2003)

My debugger gives the following stack:

However, using OSL on my Linux box running Redhat 8.0, which ues 
glibc-2.2 it runs ok. It actually doesn't solve it correctly - there 
seems to be an issue with OSL's getDualRays return (or, how I am using 
it) which might be related to a post I made earlier today. I will look 
into this and get back to you.

[mgalati at dyn035199 Run]$ uname -a
Linux dyn035199.ie.lehigh.edu 2.4.18-14 #1 Wed Sep 4 13:35:50 EDT 2002 
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[mgalati at dyn035199 Run]$ rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.2.93-5

As for the OSL issue with glibc-2.2 vs glibc-2.3, perhaps other OSL 
users on this list can comment.
