I didn't actually fix anything.. just told the compiler to generate "frame pointers" in the executable code again -- standard Empeg kernels normally have this enabled. Very early on in Hijack I disabled the frame pointer code, since it is not normally needed for anything, and just takes up space and costs 5% of CPU usage or so.

But there could be an ancient 2.2.xx bug (kernel or compiler) that surfaces when frame pointers are not present, so I've turned them back on again for now. Seems to be behaving better for folks.

My other StrongArm-based box (a Netwinder) works happily with a 2.2.xx kernel and NO frame pointers.. go figure.

Cheers
