  My test install is on Debain v8 ('jessie'), and while it's not seg faulting 
(that I've seen...) there are also several issues with its operation.

   If I can't make some progress with the test install, I me have to try to 
redo it with v1.04 instead of v1.06...

   I don't recall having any problem with that; but OTOH & considering the 
issues I'm having with the install, I've been wondering if I'm missing 
something.


 SA>   BTW both where on a 64 bit system.

   That's what the new system is; I'm planning to move 1:120/544 from a 32 bit 
Debian v6.0.10 install to a new 64 bit Debian v8 install.
