Was there any solution to this issue?
Working with Gentoo Linux here, updated to xorg7, and recompiler
drscheme 301.12, I also get a sigsegv. Here's some debug info:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

DrScheme seems to be the only application failing... I'm running xorg

Any ideas?
