can you post that line ? How did you find out that it's this line=20 which
crashes ?
Deleting or adding a line can change the program's=20 behaviour even when
that line is obviously superfluous and does nothing l= ike=20 i=3Di; or such.
This is because the location where the variables are=20 stored
depends on the length of the program and a boguous=20 memory-access
might work with some program-size but crash with=20 another.
