It seems like the whole writeln angle may be a red herring. In my  
current code I'm not using it at all. Yet now I suddenly got a  
segfault (i.e., no longer a bus error) while doing something totally  
innocuous. I commented out the call to uniform() elsewhere in my code  
(or, rather, replaced it with a constant float value), and the  
segfault went away...
