  Obviously "make tests" passes on Linux, and usually "make valgrind"
catches problems which may not surface on Linux.

  Run the test under gdb, check where it failed, check the stacktrace,
maybe try with another debugger, this might also be solved with a more
recent release like 2.6.9 because a memcmp was giving troubles on Solaris
and got replaced by strncmp (check the archives).

  Step #1 anyway is to try 2.6.9 to see if the problem is fixed.
  Step #2 is to check the memcmp->strncmp patch
  Step #3 is to run the program under a debugger and check where it fails.
