Could you please send us the complete stack trace (obtained by
typing "where" to gdb)?

If you could provide a temporary account to do remote testing,
it would aid us tremendously.

So far you're the only one responding using an alpha.  To answer
your question, we only have Sparcs, SGIs, Linux, and a single
HP-UX machine.  Other binaries for previous versions were either
donated by users or compiled when a staff member had access to
the machine (I'm not sure what category the alpha binary is in).
