Unfortunately I don't have the familiarity with the MiNT code tree, nor 
(as mentioned in my previous message) do I have any room for a MiNT-based 
gcc ATM. Sorry. I'll do whatever I can to track it down, but tomorrow is 
my last day of decent internet access. On Wednesday I go away for summer 
vacations and only if I'm able to pay for a decent speed modem and a 
Demon Internet account will I have access.

I can answer those. I was either using INIT= or naming gem.sys as the
default shell for a user called 'GEM' (with gid 0) in my passwd, but the
problem also exists with GEM=. The problem occurs regardless of memory
protection status. No debugging information whatever is output before the 
crash.
