Just a random bubble: are all affected boxen running Mosixized kernels?

I am still having no success reproducing this garbage on a variety of
boxen, including strange IRIX machines.  As to potato, I just recall that
our's isn't vanilla.  When I was porting to GCC-3.0 I ran into a
well-documented problem with binutils on that distribution so I had to
manually update them:
higgs:~$ ld -v
GNU ld version 2.10.91 (with BFD 2.10.1.0.2)

Everything else is vanilla, though.  Especially g++.  However, I don't see
how binutils may affect the running behaviour.  Mind updating them
nevertheless?  Do you have any machine where it works or is this a 100%
failure?
