I don't think the problem is with corrupted xforms library, although, of
course, you may try replacing that too.
It looks a little bit like that the xforms library is compiled for being
linked with libraries that are incompatible with your libraries. (Maybe
the Redhat development gcc version has something to do with this...)
Easy solution would be to recompile xforms, but of course, (AFAIK) it is
still not open source.
Downgrading your Linux distribution would probably help but that would be
quite much of work.
It might be interesting to see if the symbol "_xstat" is defined somewhere
in your libraries, eg "nm /lib/libc-2.1.*.so | grep _xstat" (it is in my
Redhat 6.2 glibc 2.1.3 gcc 2.91.66 system), but whatever the result is,
I don't know how that would help you.

Now let's see if it actually works... (tell if it doesn't)
