[mythtv] mythgame segmentation fault when mythgame binary is defined

[m0j0.j0j0]

I'm having this exact same problem. Have you (or anyone else) figured
out a fix for it?

Thanks.

I've heard some things about this in relation to scripts, however the xmame binary is not a script.. I don't really know, but it seems as though the problem has something to do with my libc.. upgrading to a higher version (i.e., 2.3) seems a nonoption, as it would require me to uninstall many, many packages..
