segmentation fault in umask()



Hi,

Some programs (that I wrote) now always segmentation fault on Linux.
They used to work and they still work on all but one machine.

I ran strace and the last few lines are:

uname({sys="Linux", node="node", ...}) = 0
umask(02 <unfinished ...>
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (46) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

Does this mean that it crashes in umask()? There is no corefile
produced.

This is on OpenSUSE 64 bit (2.6.18.2-34-default)

Any ideas?
TIA, M
.
