Thanks Alastair, that does make the segfault go away.

That actually seems to work for me if I set
/proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield to 1 or 0, whereas alsamixer is only
happy at 0 as you say.
Thanks again for the tip. Should I bug this do you think, or is Exec
Shield doing its job and the problem is in alsamixer?
Since Alsa is in the kernel for 2.6 I was a bit surprised that the OSS
driver was installed by default in Fedora Core Beta 2.
