[ADMB Users] Memory Dump while running an admb program

[Jared Blashka]

While analyzing a data set I encounted what appears to be a memory dump.
I've included the terminal output at the end. I've been able to recreate the
issue on two different machines, one which is RHEL 5.4 and the other which
is Fedora 6 (old, yes I know). I believe that it's an issue with gcc, as the
same version is on both the problem machines (4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat
4.1.2-13)). Both machines are also 32-bit. I've complied and run the same
template on a 64-bit 10.10 ubuntu laptop with gcc 4.4 and the program runs
normally. What strikes me as interesting is that the dump doesn't occur with
two other data sets that i've used; these two run without any issues
regardless of the machine. I've included the compiled program, the template,
and the three datasets in the zip file below.

Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone had any insight into the situation.
I've tried to upgrade gcc to 4.4, but the upgrade isn't officially available
in the repository for those versions of linux, so I'm out of luck there. I
then tried to install it as a second instance of gcc (as gcc4.4), compiled
the program specifying gcc4.4 to be used and then tried to run the result,
but I was only greeted with errors specifying that certain functions were
unavailable. I'm guessing it was trying to run the gcc4.4 compiled program
with the 4.1 libraries that were found by default.
