Subject: Seg fault problems on 64bit linux

Author: Ryan B.

First off I use 64 bit linux. I just went back to gcc 3.4.2 after having issues
compiling my own program with gcc4.  To see if it was just my program I tried
some other programs to see if they had the same problem.  I did not find the
same problem but did find that some other programs got a seg fault running after
compile.   I assumed gcc 4 to be a POS and went back to gcc 3.4.2 fixing my
original problem but I still can't get some programs to work on 64bit.

Amy-0.8.7 seg faults on startup when compiled on 64bit (works just fine with
32bit gcc)
Scorpio 1.2 seg faults on go when compiled on 64bit even after fixing the
redefinition to long.  (works just fine with 32bit gcc)
Beowulf works just fine but I notice it uses long long still. (wow stronger than
I expected)

I don't use Bitboards so I dont know if it is a bitboard issue.  Has anyone else
had problems like this on 64bit using gcc?  If it is somthing simple that I
overlooked, sorry.  For now I assume it has somthing to do with the size of long
and I am not smart enought to find the problem using grep.
