It's after installing... I used my Debian scripts to build a package
for 1.96.6 and installed it.

Here's my gdb session... I'm no gdb wiz, so if you need something
other than this, you'll have to be very specific. :)

Oddly enough, on my first try I loaded the "Blox" package and all went
well... Only when I loaded BloxTK by itself did the segfault
occur. Either that or the problem is intermittent...

...upon further testing, the problem appears to be
intermittent. That's the best kind of problem... :P

Anyhow, here's the backtrace from the segfault:
