Apparently, it doesn't crash when hitting google result pages now. 
It seems that even though i specifically put the full path to
libpng12.a into the Makefile, Mosaic seems to be linked dynamically
against libpng.so.12 . To be more precise, Mosaic seems to be fully
dynamically linked. I wont complain about that ;-)
