I had pretty much the same issue with 2.1.14 (on RedHat Enterprise Linux 
3 & 4); the first time I called cfagent it segfaulted but subsequent runs 
on the same system worked fine.  I wasn't doing the first run during a 
kickstart, but I experienced the same issue none-the-less.  I never took 
the time to look into what exactly was going wrong, but just today I tried 
2.1.15 and didn't have the same problem.  You might try integrating 2.1.15 
into your FC4 installation tree (if possible) and see if you have the same 
problem.
