[yocto] Segmentation fault with "hob"-command (now no html)

Sorry for the last post in HTML-Format.
I didn't recognize that my provider has changed the format and doesn't send
text-messages any more.
Perhaps the admin may delete my wrong post.


Hello,
I am evaluating Yocto, therefore sorry, if it is a beginner fault; I have a
problem starting "hob".
After the command "hob" the system tells that some tools have to be built.
The build ends
with the following lines:

------------- snip ---------------------------------------
...

PSEUDO_PREFIX=$PSEUDOBINDIR/../../ PSEUDO_DISABLED=1 $PSEUDOBINDIR/pseudo
$BITBAKE $@

------------- snap ---------------------------------------
German output: "Speicherzugriffsfehler" = "segmentation fault"

System-infos:
Build-System: OpenSuSE 11.3, 32bit
Yocto version: "poky-edison-6.0-tar-bz2" from the Yokto download server

The absolute same problem also appears with the following constellation:
Build system: OpenSuSE 11.3 64bit
Yocto version: "poky-edison-6.0-tar-bz2 'from yocto download server

On the 64-bit system, I have the "nightly build"
("http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/nightly/20120213-1/yocto.tar.bz2")
reinstalled.
Here I get the following output:
------------- snip ---------------------------------------
...

>From a gdb session (evaluation of the core dump) of the nightly build I get
the following output:
------------- snip ---------------------------------------

Core was generated by `python /Yocto/yocto/bitbake/bin/bitbake -r

The error occurred in each case at the first attempt after a new
installation.
Commands:
------------- snip ---------------------------------------
source oe-init-build-env
hob
------------- snap ---------------------------------------

Changes in "local.conf":

------------- snip ---------------------------------------
MACHINE ?= "atom-pc"

Is it a bug, or a beginner's mistake?

Thanks in advance,

Siegfried
