Sadly, buggy programs are not guaranteed to fail. Somewhere in your program is a bug and you need to find it. For example, maybe a pointer has a bad value, but you are using it to store something. This overwrites something that it shouldn't. When you staticly link the program, you may be stepping on something that you don't need. But generate position independent code, and now you're clobbering something important.

The good news is that you have found a way to reliably expose the bug. The next step is to remove the bug.
The illegal operation sounds like you nailed a return address on the stack.

And yes this sort of thing happens to me a lot, although it's usually a program that works on hp but not sun (or vice versa). And it's always a bug a in my code. For this reason, I try my program on both systems as a quality check.

fvwm-bug

fvwm-bug(1)							   Fvwm Modules 						       fvwm-bug(1)

NAME

       fvwm-bug - report a bug in fvwm

SYNOPSIS

       fvwm-bug [--help] [--version] [address]

DESCRIPTION

       fvwm-bug is a shell script to help the user compose and mail bug reports concerning fvwm in a standard format.  fvwm-bug invokes the editor
       specified by the environment variable EDITOR on a temporary copy of the bug report format outline. The user must fill  in  the  appropriate
       fields  and  exit  the  editor.	 fvwm-bug  then  mails the completed report to the local fvwm maintainer, the fvwm workers list fvwm-work-
       ers@fvwm.org, or address.  If the report cannot be mailed, it is saved in the file dead.fvwm-bug in the invoking user's home directory.

       The bug report format outline consists of several sections.  The first section provides information about the  machine,	operating  system,
       the  fvwm  version, and the compilation environment.  The second section should be filled in with a description of the bug.  The third sec-
       tion should be a description of how to reproduce the bug.  The optional fourth section is for a proposed fix.  Fixes are encouraged.

ENVIRONMENT

       fvwm-bug will utilize the following environment variables if they exist:

       EDITOR Specifies the preferred editor. If EDITOR is not set, fvwm-bug defaults to emacs.

       HOME   Directory in which the failed bug report is saved if the mail fails.
