Bug with 022 and Linux?

I am an archlinux user and I am encountering an annoying bug with the 022 version of arduino. I know I am not the only one given that the same is been reported by other users on the archlinux package page (see: aur.archlinux.org / packages.php ? ID=8388). Basically, the code seems to compile and upload correctly yet the board won't execute it properly: in fact, it will just execute the first command then crash. The blink example file, for instance, will make the LED turn on and it will never turn off again.

Any idea?

I'm using avr-gcc 4.3.3 without issues so far.

Maybe you can switch to that version as well. There's a 4.5.0 available for openSUSE as well, but as I've had problems with 'cutting-edge' versions before, I've never used it.
