okay. the tooth is, i never really understood what umath and
fast_umath was (were). unsafe math? sounds like .......

on to Gist:

on the latest release, i just compiled gist with -O2 -g -mpentium, and
got a segfault in the 9th test in gisttest3d.py:

(gustav)/usr/local/src/LLNLDistribution10/Graphics/Gist3D/Demo/: python gisttest3d.py
env variable PYGRAPH is not set, so assuming Gist graphics.
...this can be overruled by the 'graphics' keyword argument
   to Graph2d or Graph3d.
Opening graphics window 0.
Type in any string to continue; ^C to return to prompt. 
[repeated 8 more times]
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

the problem occurs in the s3 = sslice():

      # pseudo-colored plane slice, then cut it in half and save
      # only the front half
      s3 = sslice (m1, pyz, opt_3d = ["wm", "f4"])
      s3 = sslice (s3, pxy, nslices = 1, opt_3d = ["wm", "f4"])

here's the core dump in gdb:
