Hi Brian,
Yes, I'm running 4.2RC1 which I installed with Benedikt's graphic installer.
Here's the stack trace:
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
0x406bc9f2 in ?? () from /lib/libc.so.6
(gdb) bt
#0 0x406bc9f2 in ?? () from /lib/libc.so.6

#5 0x804d5c5 in ?? ()

(gdb)
Also, fwiw, while it's running, along with the other messages I listed
before, when running in gdb I also get lots of these:
Error while reading shared library symbols:
Dwarf Error: Cannot handle DW_FORM_strp in DWARF reader.
Thanks,
Bob S.
