Note that if you change the flags like this by editing the makefile, you will have to do a make clean to remove the old object files, so that they will be rebuilt with the new flags. >> Do you have a core file?

Still a crash, but after a different sequence of actions. This time I didn't create the other subtrees, I went straight for the "TBN Net" subtree.

You must update the schema before you can import the data. Although the server should not crash either. If you run the import job in gdb, and it crashes, gdb should report a SIGSEGV. Since the import is multi-threaded, the crash may not be in the current thread.
