Zdenek,

On second thought,  I tried and got that:
Suivi de pile correspondant à p1, Programme postmaster
*[0] fsm_rebuild_page( présumé: 0xbd9731a0, 0, 0xbd9731a0) 
[0x81e6a97] [1] fsm_search_avail( présumé: 0x2, 0x6, 0x1)  [0x81e68d9] [2] fsm_set_and_search(0x84b2250, 0, 0, 0x2e,
0x5,0x6, 0x2e, 0x8047416, 
 
0xb4) [0x81e6385] [3] RecordAndGetPageWithFreeSpace(0x84b2250, 0x2e, 0xa0, 0xb4)

0x8047ac8)  [0x8177dce] [12] _start()  [0x807ff96]
 

seems interesting!

We've had problems already with unixware optimizer, hope this one is 
fixable!
