Segment fault/Bus error with Singular

[Murray Eisenberg]

Thanks for your reply that suggests to try a recent snapshot.

Unfortunately, I don't know whether the various, latest "snapshot" files 
will help, since I haven't a clue which one or ones to download or, once 
I've downloaded, what to do with it/them!

I see nothing on the snapshots page (to which the URL you supplied 
points) about how to use these files.

I'm a very experience computer user, but I need guidance here!
