Strangly .. basic applications fail to launch.
For example, I wanted to see what happens when I insert a Microsoft Windows
Vista Business Edition DVD into my machine. I would expect that it would be
automatically mounted but I was wrong .. snv_70 mounted the DVD as a HSFS
filesystem which it is not. It is actually UDFS and there is a small readme
on the DVD to that effect. I attempted to read that README ... and .. nada
..just a core file :
When I insert the DVD I see this :

then when I double click on the README file I see this :
http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/blog/images/snv_70_001.png
if I click on Display I get nothing but an hour glass and then ... nothing.
I get a core file :
$ file core
core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file 80386 Version 1, from 'gnome_segv2'
$ rm core
In fact, at this point I try to open a terminal or any other sort of
application and all I get is an hour glass and then a new core file.
$ file core
core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file 80386 Version 1, from 'gnome_segv2'
If I try to use gimp ... I get even more oddity :
$ /bin/gimp
This is a development version of GIMP. Debug messages may appear here.
/bin/gimp: fatal error: Segmentation Fault
/bin/gimp (pid:12317): [E]xit, [H]alt, show [S]tack trace or [P]roceed: P
I can use the gimp 2.2.12 from Blastwave as well as SeaMonkey 1.1.4 but I
can not start a terminal or gimp or much of anything now with snv_70.

I feel like I installed SeaMonkey and then ran into some strange conflict.
This all began because someone had filed and email to the Blastwave users
maillist that described some font problems with evince but I can not
reproduce the problem here. I get a perfect looking document with the
provided evince in snv_70 :

as well as version 0.9.0 from Blastwave

from there on in .. things get weird as I try to open up new applications.
