Hi all!

Sorry if this gets posted twice!

Every now and then ld will crash, when I try to build a program. If I run it 
again, usually all is well again, without any changes in the source code or 
elsewhere.
Maybe somebody has any idea what is going on. Here are some infos about my 
installation:
ld: GNU ld version 2.8.1 (with BFD 2.8.1)
gcc: gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)

And here is the traceback:

Thanks for taking the time,
