Yes, sorry. The Debian tools were stripping them out. I have now made a
package with the debugging symbols, and it is at the url
http://rowrcolo.net/~kandinski/packages/fluxus/ in case you want to check
out that the binary is really the proper one.

My working machine is an m200 laptop with an nvidia geforce go 5200, and I
am running the propietary nvidia driver. Thinking it could be a case of
driver manlfunction, today I made a dapper package for a desktop machine
with a 9200 ATI, and the same example scripts crash fluxus too.

This is the gdb output for two of the examples that kill fluxus 0.9rc1 on my
laptop:
