[Bf-funboard] Segmentation Fault

[Roger]

I dont know who I should send to as I have had no response on this problem after 
2 previous posts.
There are a number of similar reports in google but no help toward a resolution. 
Desperately need help.
My apologies if sending to wrong address.

What is wrong and how can it be fixed please.

I have no idea about platform independent libraries.
