No problem at all -- at least we've ruled that out now :)

I think that might help.  I noticed a libc6 segfault bug on ppc (#146489, that 
appears to have been closed for a LONG time) that Ben H. worked on.  He can 
probably tell us if this is similar, or something higher up in Inkscape etc.  
We might even find out that someone else is having the same problem, which 
would help to narrow things down.

Earlier, I tried adding lots of fputs() to each step of main as a log, but it 
didn't appear to reach even the first one (right after the simple local data 
declarations at the top of main()).  So I guess we've at least narrowed it 
down to the compiler's wrapper code, the dependent libraries, or perhaps any 
global C++ class instances within inkscape, which I think get instantiated 
before main().

I just tried with xserver-xfree86-dbg (as opposed to the trunk packages I had 
been using previously) and it's still crashing, so I'm running out of ideas 
quickly :)
