I had a similar problem with one of my megapov_xrs_server users on amd64
with Fedora Core 5. I got some important clues using gdb and though I
didn't get all the way to the root of the problem, in my case, just
providing -D on the command line was an acceptable workaround (since the
server never should have a render display).

Hope this helps,
George
