RE: Problems compiling 1.7.0 on redhat el4 64bit

I am attaching a stack trace with symbols enabled.

I'm using gcc. The default in the makefile.

I am using the apr that you get from the get-deps.sh script. APR_HAS_THREADS is defined.

If I disable optimizations by doing "make CFLAGS=-O0" the program no longer crashes.

It could be a compiler/optimiser bug. Which compiler are you using?
Can you provide a stack trace of the crash (with debug symbols please)?
Does the crash go away if you compile utf.c without optimisation? Which version of APR are you using? Is APR_HAS_THREADS defined in apr.h?
