Thanks for the info Claude,
Here is what gdb eventually spit out.
I read the documentation page, but I'm afraid I don't really see what I should do from that. Is it trying to do a trace with #0 being the immediate call that crashed, while #1 is what called #0 and #2 called #1 and so on? If so, it seems that maxlib history is what is causing the problem.
Sorry, I wish I knew more about programming... Brian

Seems quite simple, but I don't have pd-extended and miss the required libraries to test.
pd gui; pd process exited Segmentation Fault
Not very useful...
You could try 'gdb' or 'valgrind' to get more useful output.
$ gdb --args pd-extended blah blah
run
Segmentation Fault
bt
(tells you where the error is, hopefully)
quit
