Debian PowerPC compile: Consistent crashing.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compile naim 0.11.8.3.1 on a debian powerpc computer running testing
2. Run it, wait for it to die.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output: Running normally. Instead:

  naim: toc2.c:1614: toc_got_data: Assertion `*info == -2' failed.

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

(gdb)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Debian testing, naim 0.11.8.3.1

Please provide any additional information below.

Not sure what else to say; I'm not much of a coder myself.

Well, I upgraded that server to a newer ancient mac, also running debian linux, 
and
the same problem occurs, with the same output. So it's definitely consistent,
definitely the "latest" in, uh, debian testing technologies, and definitely 
0.11.8.3.1.

Two months later, problem still present.

This was determined to be an issue with the platform/compiler on the user's 
system.  

Changing line 1614 of toc2.c from
 assert(*info == -2);
to:
 assert(*info == -2 || *info == 254);

fixes the problem
