I agree that random/periodic bugs are insidious and frustrating and makes the software look like crap; therefore we should have a 'culture' of agressive pursuit of these problems. But, unfortunately I can't replicate your particular problem here which makes it difficult for me to do anything about it. I can't see anything obvious in your system setup that would explain what is happening and why your experience is different from others. When I've been the only one to see weird problems it has often helped to do a complete "make clean; make; make install" of all the components (plib, simgear, flightgear) with the emphasis on the "make clean" part first. Sometimes the incremental builds can get slightly hosed for some reason ... you get an executable that links and runs, but does weird things.
