Gernot,

[ crossposted to prolog mailing list.
  Concerns: OSF1 alpha.logic.tuwien.ac.at V4.0 878 alpha
       gcc: egcs-2.91.57 19980901 (egcs-1.1 release)
] 

Got it.  It is a bug in egcs, miscompiling compile_term_to_heap(),
notably the addUnalignedBuffer() macro.  The solution is rather simple:

	./configure
	make
	<crash>
	rm pl-rec.o
	make COFLAGS=

	Regards --- Jan
