Does this happen even before you have the opportunity to start the GUI?

If so, then my first guess would be that it has something to do with the
CPU-specific optimized code. Exactly what hardware are you running the
binaries on?

Otherwise, if you get that far, please post the initial contents of the

Also, have you tried the 32-bit binaries instead?

I presume that in this context you're talking about the Linux version?
Did you use the beta.6 source code there?
