Hi Paul,

Part of your job as a software developper is imagining what can go wrong and 
adapt your code to it. So being a pesimist makes you a good developper. ;)

I'll try building a statically linked binary again first. Maybe just ftools as 
that would be more simple as a test case...

That would be better! ;)
