Yes.  This is it exactly.  It shows faces just fine.  But as soon as
you look at a face and try to open another window it crashes.  Every
time.  Try editing src/Makefile.in.in and changing -lcompface to
'-Wl,-Bstatic -lcompface -Wl,-Bdynamic'.  This cleared up the crashes
for me.

 Karl>  To try and find out if the libcompface was causing the crash,

Steven informed that you have to recompile with -D_BSD_SOURCE.
