[Gllug] SIGSEGV error

[Delioma Oramas Dorta]

Hi Richard,

thanks very much for all these suggestions. I am currently in touch with the
authors and awaiting their response on this, so hopefully I will be able to
find out more about it. Otherwise, I will have to try and use the new
version in a last instance.

THanks a lot for you guidance!

Regards,

Delioma
