What happens is that xforms cannot do something (allocate a color,
find a font) which is related to the use of VNC and tries to display
an error message (with P_err). It happens that this code is so
convoluted that it breaks on glibc2.1. The updated xforms fixes that.

No, you did not recompile your xforms because xforms is *not* available
in source form %-] Rebuilding the SRPM might compile the demo
programs, but certainly not much more... I advise you to get the
latest xforms. It would be nice if somebody could package it in rpm so
that we can offer it on lyx ftp site.
