I don't recall from earlier in this thread, but did you happen to
mention what hardware you're running?

I have seen behavior like this before on my 64-bit machine at home
when there is a conflict between the 32 and 64 bit libraries.  It's
the main reason I can't build gnome at home (I think), for which I am
actually grateful (who knows how much damage I could have done to
myself), and I have also had issues with Seamonkey in this respect
(though not this particular one).
