Bingo.  The core dumps I've been looking at suggest heap corruption,
which is almost *certain* to play out differently on different OSes.
In this case it looks like things are going the other way - NetBSD
is OK and it's Linux that dies - but the principle is the same.
Now all we need to find out is where the corruption *occurs*,
because all we're seeing right now is the victims.  :(
