That's really great!!!
In the meantime i've become a debianist as well.

That's strange as i'm using it as well.
Can that be a compiler version mismatch between your PD, glibc and flext
versions?

Those are the precompiled flext libraries (with gcc 2.95.4), for all those
too lazy to compile -
or for those who don't want to mix compiler versions.
