I have the following system:

Indy R5000SC, 180 MHz, 64M RAM
Irix 6.2
Performer 2.0
MipsPro C/C++, version 7.0

I recently installed Patch 1566 (XFS rollup). Afterwards, I discovered
that my Performer application, which had previously run trouble-free, was
producing segmentation faults during startup. The faults would not occur
every time I ran the program (once every third or fourth try it would run
fine), and running a trace I found that they weren't happening at the same
spot either (once during a malloc call, and another time during
pfInitClock). Removing the patch and rebooting eliminated the problem.

Has anybody else seen this behavior? Is it a known problem between
Performer 2.0 and this patch? One thing I did notice was that the program
seemed to crash when I was trying to load in a .flt file.

Thanks,

Sandeep
