What does "set -x" do, anyway? It gave me this now:

bash-2.04$ ./configure
+ test -n ''
+ test -n set
+ set -o posix
+ DUALCASE=1
+ export DUALCASE
+ as_unset=unset
+ unset ENV MAIL MAILPATH
+ PS1=$
+ PS2=>
+ PS4=+
+ set +x

No info on the crash. Do I have to look somewhere for some
sort of output file?
