The first puzzling thing is that in your machine, the file system is not 
case sensitive. Otherwise (see below), ECL would not try to load 
ASDF.fas but rather asdf.fas.

The second puzzling thing is the bus error. Is yours a 64-bit machine? 
Seems like there is an alignment problem somewhere in the code. Solving 
that requires debugging ECL on a more recent machine -- the Mac OSX 10.2 
Server Edition in Sourceforge runs the code without patches, straight 
out of CVS.

I wonder if somebody would like to debug this, or either provide me with 
a limited login account so that I can debug ECL on such a platform.

Regards,

Juanjo
