Sounds very fishy to me.  Until I have more data, all I can suggest is the
following:

     1) you have a corrupted system.  Reinstall.
     2) you have heterogenous libs and bins.  Make sure your bins expect
        the version of runtime-libs that you have installed.
     3) if this occurs will all your standard bins (grep, vi, ed, ls, etc.)
        there may be a wholly different problem.  Get Slackware; works for
        me.

Hope this helps.

I experience(d) similar problems having segmentation faults after almost
all programs except 'ps'. Someone in one of the Linux news boxes
mentioned that you can 'solve' it if you disable your cache. I have done
that over the weekend and indeed the problems disapeard.  I do not know
why this solves the problems (or causes them) but I do not consider
turning of my cache a reasonable solution. Anyone ?! One thing I have
thought of is that it might be that there is something incorrectly setup
in my CMOS which is causing the problems rather than the cache. Can
anyone comment on that?

had someone on my box with the same problems,
altho I hadn't seen it.  Was finally traced
down to a problem with termcap (he was using
vt220, I had vt100 for most things).  My solution
was to replace the vt200/vt220 termcap entry
with a pointer to the vt100 one.  Problem went
away.

but, w/o more info, this is just a wild guess.
