This is just something for the think tank. I thing Dale is more than likely correct, but a few months ago I was getting segmentation faults whenever I would try to run man (maybe some others I don't remember right now). The problem was that for some reason when I installed linuxconf, I believe, and changed files back manually it stopped setting my hostname.
I don't understand it but when I set the hostname it stopped giving me the error. I just wanted to throw another possibility in for you to think about.
