 at least the 64-bit version, on a different PowerPC machine).
 I will clarify.[[BR]]
 The test suite passed in 32 bit mode.[[BR]]
 The test suite passed in 64 bit mode.[[BR]]
 Since I only have access to the one G5 machine, such testing will have to
 suffice even if it does not qualify as having "tried hard."[[BR]]
 Is there any reason to believe this is not correct?

 > I'm reopening it since there's no reason not to fix the crash itself
 (which is annoying). I'm going to attach a patch.
 I would respectfully suggest that unless the patch is quite small, there
 is no reason for it.[[BR]]
 Correct me if I am wrong, but the crash is part of a normal test
 process.[[BR]]
 Code is run, it fails, and so the configure script knows not to run that
 code.[[BR]]
 The only issue is the minor and infrequent annoyance of CrashReporter
 telling you about the failure.
