I notice that "crash on file load" seems to be a common concern on Linux systems, yet it is apparently not replicated at all on the developer's systems, which seem to be 64-bit hardware, judging by the comments.

LibreCad also works fine under Windows XP and Linux+wine.  This implies that the problem may not be in the LibreCad source code, but in the 32-bit tool-chain.

This could be in the support libraries (e.g dxf, because we are loading a dxf file at crash-time) or differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit compilers or their include files.

The developers may need to install LibreCad on real 32-bit hardware to expose the problem.  Just a thought.
