I updated to the latest Paulus rsync kernel (2.4.3-pre8) and the
latest gcc (2.95.3-2v) and 2.1 glibc (glibc-2.1.3-15g) from Franz,
but unfortunately none of this helps.  xine 0.4.01 still gets
illegal instructions (sometimes it gets a segmentation fault
instead).

Have you tried other kernels? A lot of people including me have experienced
sporadic signals, most often with ldconfig, with Paulus' tree. I'm running
BenH's tree now and haven't seen it yet.

This is not to call Paulus' tree lame or anything. :) It's just that he
apparently has rather experimental stuff in it, which can always lead to
instabilities.

Hey, Grrrrrrrrrrrrrreattt!!!!!

That did the trick.  I rsync'ed BenH's latest 2.4.3 final kernel,
and now xine 0.4.01 works fine.  Now I just have to get MOL working
again with the latest kernels (probably just requires a rebuild).

Many, many thanks for the suggestion!
