In my update from FC4 to FC5 something broke, and I have yet to figure
out what. Before, if I started the app, unpatched, it would come up in
demo mode. Now it segfaults almost immediately.

My suspicion is either a library or a kernel change, but I've no idea
how to determine which.

Try to disable exec-sield.
