Static ctors run before main starts and their order is not well-defined across compilation units. Perhaps there is a dependency and things aren't getting initialized in the same order as with the last system setup. If you can't get a dump, eliminate the code/initialization that may take place before start, and see if you at least get to the program entry point. -- Andrew Bell andrew.bell.ia@xxxxxxxxx
