We see the same problem when compiling our binaries on RHEL 4 64-bit. We
had to switch to building on RHEL 5. I do not have the failing binaries
available to test any more. Maybe it would help if you provided details on
the segfault like a dump or something? I thought the problem was in our
build process so I did not raise the issue and we do not actually support
RHEL 4 anymore so I did not press it.
