Upgrade to 1.0.x and core files

[Michael Hall <mhall riverside org>]

  I'm using linux 2.2.3, glibc2.1 and egcs 1.1.1. I had the 0.99.8 stuff
(tarballs) running fine and could leave it up for several days with a core
file, I would occassionally get one from a flaky app but the core packages
were very stable.
  I've since recently upgraded to the 1.0.1/2 stuff (tarballs again) and 
while it seemd to run fine I frequently get a core file on exiting a
session and gnumeric-0.16 won't run at all. I see this when doing a 'bt':

$ gdb gnumeric core

  I'm not a programmer or gdb expert by any means so I have a couple of
questions. What are all the '??' from, is that because of not compiling
with '-g', all the gnome stuff is compiled with '-O2 -g' (default).
Also what is this 'find_solib: Can't read pathname for load map: I/O error',
thats also the same thing I see from the core file when exiting gnome:

Core was generated by `gnomepager_applet --activate-goad-server gnomepager_applet'.

  I'm using a modified Slackware system so I don't use RPMs and compiled
glibc-2.1/egcs-1.1.1 myself, they both tested fine and I don't see this
problem with any other of the programs I compile/install (which are quite
a few) also I never saw this with the 0.99.8 stuff compiled under the same
setup it only started appearing with the upgrade to the 1.0.x stuff.

PS: For what its worth I'm also using autoconf-2.13, automake-1.4 and
    libtool-1.2e.
