Wayne, Have you performed a make world recently to ensure that your "world" is syncronous with your kernel? Is this also the same machine that is causing core dumps with star office? I assume you've added all the stuff to your kernel necessary to get so running. You may also need to "remake" your Linux compatibility in order to correct any problems that have creeped into your configuration.
