Subject: 2.4.2b11 install fun (...not)

The compile goes fine without errors, all the other executables are fine, 
ckconfig checks all OK (all is correct and I have double checked), etc....BUT:
no1.superb.net:/opt/software/bin/wu-ftpd-2.4/bin>ftpd
Abort (core dumped)
--> ftpd ALWAYS crashes. When as FTPD in inetd.conf, "Service Unavailable" error 
(BTW, all is correct for anonymous too FTP and anon works with in.ftpd).

Any tips/tricks to compile wu-ftpd (2.4.2b11) to actually work under:
Solaris 2.5 (SPARC)
using gcc 2.6.3
appreciated.

I have tried all I could think of, totally restarted a number of times, etc. to 
no avail...

Thanks in advance for any help!

P.S. I've searched the archives but come up empty for an FAQ or something on
how to make "virtual" FTP hosts. I just need a template of a the file to edit
or a brief FAQ for that. Also, where are the "virtual host" patches, etc.?
(again, nothing in the list archives about a URL).

Yup. All is available.

What I really hate about this is that I have no clue what could the problem be! 
ftpwho, ftpshut, and others all work; ckconfig all checks out; all files follow 
the correct template; there were no errors during compile (and re-compiling), 
and so...yet it just aborts (w/o any errors) and dumps the core whenever run.
