Thanks Kostis. Bit of a relief really - I wasn't exactly making a 
whole lot of progess fixing my code!

Excellent. I just tried hipe on the amd64 machine and no seg-fault.
Oddly hipe doesn't seem to be enabled on my i386 even though
I compiled it the same way as the amd64 version.

As an added bonus, I was stearing clear of hipe because I had 
read somewhere that there was problems with running it on 
a xen instance (due to the threading library used if I recall).
However, the amd64 machine I just tried it on is a xen 
instance, so that looks promising. So, thanks again!
