I can confirm it:  I wrote an Allegro program and forgot to add -lalleg to the 
end of the command line.  An exe was produced, but it SIGTRAPed every time I 
tried to run it.

It never occurred to me that it was the new RSXNTDJ ld:  I rebooted my PC 
(its a little flaky), realised I'd forgotten -lalleg and it then worked fine.  
I hence assumed the reboot fixed things.

Have you contacted Rainer Schnitker (rainer AT mathematik DOT uni-bielefeld DOT de), the 
author of RSXNTDJ?  If not I'd recommend you give him a bell and see whether 
he's aware of the problem.

Thank goodness I kept the original ld.exe before installing RSXNTDJ!

Cheers,
Peter
