Doubtful it's a kernel problem. Probably it was compiled against
different versions of the libraries (svgalib, libc, etc) than you're
running. Periodically the differences in the versions will show up and
*poof* you have a segfault.
The easiest way around this is to find out what versions were used (ask
Zoid?) and write a wrapper script similar to the netscape-wrapper-bnl rpm.
