This is a symptom of the binary versioning issues with egcs/gcc and
glibc 2.0/2.1.  A fight about who should and shouldn't define
__register_frame_info, actually.  Specifically, this problem comes
from running binaries compiled egcs/glibc 2.1 on systems with glibc
2.0, I believe, although it could be some other permutation of the
above.:-)

Have you recently been playing with different glibc's and compilers?
I can't remember what the exact resolution of the problem is, but a
search on dejanews should turn something up.

Of course, I should also mention that this isn't a GNOME specific
problem.
