I found that acroread, wordperfect and rvplayer segfaulted on my
slink system when I was using the XFCom_Rage128 xserver
(installed from the RPMs with alien). The source of the
segfaults was that I'd added the regframe library to
/etc/ld.so.preloads.
If this is what is causing your problem, I know of two ways to
resolve this problem:
A fix that works for slink is to arrange for the preload to be
seen only by the xserver. This can be done by removing the entry
in /etc/ld.so.preloads and adding a LD_PRELOAD line to your
/etc/init.d/xdm script. See /usr/doc/regframe/copyright for
details.
For potato, you can remove the alien packages and use the Debian
XFree86 3.3.6 packages, including the xserver-rage128 package.
