I couldn't reproduce it with a real simple program.  I have built a
very small layer on top of gtk so I'd have to send you that also to
try it (and will if a strack trace doesn't allow you to track down the
problem).  I'm at work right now using Solaris and strace is set so that
only root can execute it.  I will try it at home tonight on my Linux
machine and let you know what happens there.
