I should perhaps have made that more clear instead of burying it at the
bottom of my report.  It could well be an amd64-specific problem, although I
get a segfault running ppracer in a 32-bit chroot.  That is with 64-bit
everything else (X server, arts, etc - running 32-bit clients in this
environment usually works fine) so I will try installing a full 32-bit system.

Also, I will add a few other observations: if I run ppracer from a VT, and
have not previously run it from an xterm in the same X session, I get the
message:
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  134 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  10 (XF86VidModeSwitchToMode)
  Value in failed request:  0x4b
  Serial number of failed request:  104
  Current serial number in output stream:  106

If I run it from an xterm, it changes the video mode then segfaults.  If I
now go back and run it from a VT, it segfaults there too.  Finally if I run
it in gdb on an xterm, the screen simply goes black and I can no longer use
that X session.  Running it in gdb on a VT results either in a segfault or
an X error, depending on whether I have previously run it from an xterm or
not, but does not trash the X session.
