i accept that
i've been using an ebuild to do the compile/install
i don't know where, but this must be doing something strange
as the build progresses i see the message that it is compiling in debug 
mode (oh well)

after a bit of digging, it appears that gentoo ebuilds by default strip 
binaries/libraries.
this might explain some of the bogus backtraces that you have been getting.

anyway, to avoid any ambiguity, i'm going back to the old way of doing 
it by hand.
just written a shell script which does the whole process of 
checkout/configure/build/install
have tested on my fastest machine.
will now run it on all the others and run frontend and two backends 
under gdb to try and
catch a valid trace. should have that for you later today.
