    No, this isn't...generally we tend to try and point you in the
right direction towards determining the problem...

    ...first question is, how many ppl out there are running under a
Linux/Alpha platform, or at least are trying?  I don't have one myself, so
can only be of limited help...

    ...next, do you actually get a core file that you can analyze
using gdb?  If so, what do the results show?

    We can't debug this for you (well, I imagine Thomas would love it
if you sent him a Linux/Alpha machine, then he could help you *grin*), but
if you are willing, we can try and steer you towards a solution...
