Alpha Centauri segfault

Has anyone come across any possible causes for the following segfault on a Fedora Core 2 installation running kernel 2.6.8-1.521?

$ smacpack

Thanks.

have encountered that, but if it only occurs using 2.6.8 use a different kernel. the 2.6.8 (and sometimes 2.6.7) kernel has a lot of know bug/conflicts, so just stay with what is stable.

whats in beta. the kernel is supposedly "stable" as is fc2 yet they both were released with a few know bugs

I have found a way to get Quake 3 to run using the latest kernel (2.6.8-1.521). My post is here. Basically, as root run echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/legacy_va_layout to use the old version of execshield. My understanding is that there were some changes and cleanups to execshield in the latest kernel. Good luck.

Latest kernel cause my mouse to be at top right i.e. off axis at top. I haven't figure out the problem how to fix that but I would like to submit a bugzilla on that issue
