I had the same problem, but I solved it by just using linux's
libc.so.5.3.12 instead of libc.so.5.4.23 (which is installed
by ports/emulators/linux_lib now).  Looking at the nearby linux
machines they were all using libc 5.3.12 anyway.

The crash is related to hostname lookups somehow, if you use
the IP address in $DISPLAY it works.  It may be a bug in linux
libc and/or maple for all I know, I haven't been able to find
a linux machine with libc 5.4.23 to test maple on.

this I didn't try - I know that "quit" works with maple :-)
however, it's probably (from a nearby linux machine):
	asm/ioctls.h:#define TIOCSTI            0x5412
