i've seen this happen, too. there's no way of explaining this other
than 'it segfaults'. my problem used to happen by simply adding
a new ISA card to my system. it just plain crashes.

i don't think there's much of a fix to it, just try
deleting your temp files, ( /tmp, /usr/tmp, ~/tmp and so on ) 
and also since the system was recently installed, there won't be
much loss if you delete /var also. see if that helps. other than that, 
there is reinstalling all drak* tools....

maybe someone that actually knows how these programs work
can tell you more ( maybe there's actually a fix which i
didn't know about ) but whenever i get those segfaults,
i'm simply forced to undo what made them stop working.
