Sorry, running too fast this morning.  Marcus is right.

However, the backtrace contains FCall.m and there is stuff in there 
which I don't trust the gcc-3.3 compiler to build correctly on PowerPC. 
 Although the library passes the relevant tests, those are fairly 
simplistic.

If the problem is the compiler, you will probably need to rebuild Swarm 
with a version 4 compiler or wait until I get it done.
