Crazy, that did the trick - no segmentation fault anymore!
Thanks a lot Glynn!!

As I know of several people that they have the same problem, I would 
like to keep this solution for the record. Glynn, would you be so kind 
to give me some more background why this can happen? Does this 'feature' 
relate to specific CPUs, operating systems etc. ?
