  I just experienced a hard drive failure on my back end system  forcing 
a reinstall.
I did a fresh install of Centos 5 using the plus kernel

  2.6.18-194.11.4.el5.centos.plus #1 SMP Wed Sep 22 11:16:27 EDT 2010 
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I've installed myth current version (Which I was on the major version 
prior to failure)
[root at mythcentos log]# rpm -qa | grep mythtv

I restored my database backup from prior to the failure.  Since my 
recordings where on a separate hard drive in the storage group (Nice 
feature)  to the front ends everything is fine it just appears the back 
end was turned off for a few days.

The problem i'm having is when I try to launch mythtv-setup or even 
mythfrontend on the restored backend both immediately exit with 
segmentation fault.
I've tried all the following commands
mythtv-setup -O ThemePainter=qt
mythtv-setup -O ThemePainter=qt -geometry 800x600+1040+200
mythtv-setup -v All

Nothing gives any output.  I have no messages in log files either.

I've even tried it over ssh tunnel.
