I posted it to the test list in case it was a build problem with gcc or
glibc or something like that.

I replaced glibc and gtk2 using rpm directly.  No joy.  I get the same
crashes.  Can anyone recommend another package that might need
replacement ?  (See initial post for error log.)

I googled this problem and found instances of it occurring with Debian.
It looks like a library mismatch to me.
