OK, so apparently

  setrand(10); thueinit(x^3+2700*x-12);

should trigger the same problem.

The second argument in inithue() [bnf] is an invalid address but that may be
a dbx artefact.

Can you try and debug thueinit up to the call to inithue [lines 479 -- 506] ?

I don't see anything fancy in the code.

If alpha/linux is OK, you'll have a comparison point. Set a breakpoint line 506
and see whether all variables have the same value ('output' the GENs, for the
bnf, output bnf[2], it should be enough).

Thanks,

    Karim.
