gdb does not show very much:

(gdb) run

After I rebuild it locally on a Sarge system it worked.

But btw: while doing a "fakeroot debian/rules binary" it executed
scrollkeeper and tried to write to /var/log/scrollkeeper.log, which is
a bug by itself, or?

"Keine Berechtigung" means "no permission" (in German).
