16 Yes, but usually it's simply that it's stricter and therefore refuses to
17 compile whatever. Additionally, KDE 3.5 is supposed to be gcc-4.x tested
18 upstream, as they are doing the gcc-4.x fvisibility stuff that had to be
19 pulled from kde 3.4.whatever.

21 Never-the-less, thanks for the datapoint! It could well be that this
22 isn't one of those "usually" things. =8^\ Now that I know it works for
23 you with glibc-2.3.6, and gcc-3.4.x, I can eselect compiler to 3.4.4 and
24 recompile, to see if that fixes it. If I can trace it, perhaps filling a
25 bug upstream may be appropriate.
26
27 Everything else seems to be working great, including one thing I had a
28 problem with in beta2! =8^)

30 I /did/ try temporarily turning off my filters, of which I have a decent
31 number, and that fixed it temporarily, but turning them all back on caused
32 another crash the next time I had mail to fetch. Thus, it's also possible
33 it's due to some strangeness with my filters, and tracing the individual
34 filter and redoing it might solve the issue. Again now that I know it's
35 working fine for you gives me reason to investigate further, since I know
36 it's not something everyone's running into.
37
38 Seems I have some testing to do, now that I've confirmed both that and
39 that I can revert to my bin-packaged beta2 version once a day or so to
40 get the collected mail. Again, thanks!
