Curious. I still get the same problem. I have tried a new benh kernel 
(2.4.20-ben6 default config -  kernel debug disabled), fresh build of 
mol from the bk repository (without the last  ChangeSet@1.365 - that 
won't build for me).

10.2.3 installs and runs fine, but mol refuses to start as soon as 
10.2.4 is applied. Downloaded twice to be sure.

If I attach gdb to mol I invariably end up looping through 
handle_rvec_flags ... do_rvec_jump_ .

strace gives this repeatedly:
MOL(0x17, 0x1, 0x108d000, 0x700, 0x10050000, 0x200ffff, 0x30016000, 
0x1000) = 0

ltrace shows no library calls.

Which versions of mol + kernel + libc should 10.2.4 run with?
