I'm trying to install a 638C binary install on a suse 7.2 box.
After untarring the tar and running ./setup in the install dir
just "glibc version: 2.2.2" occurs and after some time the
prompt appears again and nothing happens. Some investigation
with strace shows that /tmp/sv001.tmp/setup.bin crashes with 
an segmentation fault shortly after reading the font list from
the X server.

xserver is xfree86 4.0.3 on a matrox g200 on a 2.4.12 kernel. I have some 
nonstandard fonts installed including some ttf (xlsfonts|wc -l is 4429)
