Getting back to this... if my output device was 'ps' then I had no
problem, only seg faulted with an output device of 'x'

...I'm going to post this link for some other poor lost soul who might
be looking for information:

The fault persisted on my system after only following the libX11
advice and simply defining LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 did not resolve the
problem; however, by doing both of these everything seems functional
again.

I submitted a bug report last week to our IT department - anybody know
of a way to check ITT's site to find out if it actually was passed on
to ITT? I never did hear back from our folks, so my hunch is that it
fell into a black hole.
