Sounds like _Image_SVG.so halts when it's loaded. I have no idea what that is. It might be in a corresponding libsvg.so, it might not be a Pike problem at all.
Actually, it probably is. The pike is compiled with gcc 3.2 and I have just compiled pike 7.4 (for debian) without optimizations, with -g3 -ggdb3 and, lo and behold, the problem is gone. Makes me think the compiler overoptimizes something - I'm going to compile pike from tarball with full optimization now to see whether it breaks then. If it does, I will compile it with gcc 2.95 to see whether it happens then as well. I will report back when I have the results.
A gdb backtrace would probably be informative...
Quick fix: remove _Image_SVG.so.
No can do :)
