I compiled the install program with full assertions and it crashs with
a run-time stack dump. Looking the code it seems related to the
memory management by SmartEiffel (it is not good because there is a
garbage collector). So may be it is broken.

I will check it with FreeBSD 6.2 and another C compiler and try to get
more informations.

Regards.
