I had a similar problem about 1 month ago when I checked out a clean copy of FG and SimGear and compiled it. My system would keep locking up within 30 seconds whereas the 0.9.3 release runs just fine.
My problem was that the nVidia drivers for the TNT2 are not so hot under Linux and I sorted the problem out by popping in a Ti4200 (same video driver and same system). A certain sequence of OpenGL calls would cause the drivers to "go south" with the TNT2. It was a video diver issue but it was definitely triggered by a change in SimGear/FlightGear/plib.
