I see an enormous amount of work has been done cleaning up
arla in this release, and I hoped it would begin to work for me.
Unfortunately I find that arlad fails to run, even 'arlad -t',
which used to work in 0.7.2.
The core dump occurs at line 124 in hash.c, where the program
attempts to use free:
if (h)
free((void *) h->ptr);
Here is the gdb output:

Any suggestions?
