   Well, it may be a coincidence, but after I rebooted with the new nVidia 
driver I was unable to run mythfrontend at all on my F14 box due to a SIGSEGV.

   It was dying at absolute start-up (loads of dl-related calls) so on a 
whim I disabled prelink (and there-and-then removed the prelink data 
(prelink -ua?)) and afterwards had no problems.

   The removal command did report issues.

   I was going to re-enable it later (although this quite-new box shows no 
significant difference without it!);  I may back-out the nvidia driver first!
