Hmmmmm.    Curiouser, and curiouser.

It's not my machine, I'm "proxying" for a colleague who was so keen on
the Gnu Radio-based application I've
  been developing that he went out and got himself a 2nd machine,
identical to the first, to run another
  instance on.  The second machine is a "fresh from the box", while the
first is a upgrade from 9.04.

I don't think I've seen GCC dumpeth the core in many many years.  Makes
me wonder about weird
  hardware problems.  It's an Atom D510-based system.  I wonder if there
are kernel subtleties.
  Like the upgrade from 9.04 leaves you with a different kernel than a
"out of the box" 10.04?
  I'm not a Ubuntu guy, just doing my friend a favour trying to debug this.

Life was so much simpler when disk drives were only 30 megabytes, and
you could fit a printout of
  the kernel in your lunchbox :-)  And you could demodulate network
traffic on your dental work, etc.
  Oh, I'm in a geezerly mood tonight, aren't I?
