Thanks Tom,
With "C" local you meant running:
> LANGUAGE=C ./my_app
right? unfortunately this didn't give any better errors when crashing...
I had a look at the memory of the crashed process and the second arg for
libintl_dcigettext points to a string in memory: 'connection to server
at "%s" (%s), port %s failed:'
which is the same what my app prints when it is not crashing, e.g.
'Failed to initialize connection 1: connection to server at "localhost"
(::1), port 5432 failed: fe_sendauth: no password supplied'
So it seems we are on the right track (?).
Is this of any further help or should I continue looking in in libintl?
that's part of glib, is it?
Regards
Clemens
