I tried this on one of our workstations and it failed for me too in 
exactly the same way.

Running tuxtype from the console I can see that it actually segfaults. 
I tried running it under the debugger and there are lots of errors 
coming from libraries related to the sound system (libvorbis, libasound, 
libogg).  I don't have all the debuginfo packages installed though so I 
don't have a really useful backtrace.

I'm running this on a fully up to date F8 x86_64 machine, using the 64 
bit version of tuxtype.

Hopefully since this isn't just you it should be fairly easy for the 
developer to reproduce.

To report a bug simply go to bugzilla.redhat.com.  Create an account for 
yourself using the "New account" button at the top.  I've checked and 
there isn't a bug open for this issue so you'll need to make a new bug 
report.  You want to assign it to Fedora > 8 > tuxtype2, and just answer 
the questions it asks.

Once you've reported the bug post the bug number here and I'll add a 
note saying that it fails for me too.
