Did the segfault occur as a result of the Linux install and (not so)
native access to hardware, or as a result of the environment?? (you said
"I am running FC3 inside Microsoft Virtual PC 2004/SP1")

Does the same command cause the same results when running with an
identical install on identical hardware native and not inside the
"virtual PC" environment?

Segfaults should not occur, but you need to be able to identify whether
it is the software that caused it or the environment that caused it.
