$ rpm -qa compat-\*
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-68.i686
compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-143.i686
compat-readline5-5.2-17.fc12.i686
compat-db45-4.5.20-5.fc10.i386
However /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8 (which acrossl links to) is not part
of any rpm package I can find. I must originally have installed it from
a tarball and now it's come back to bite me. Any pointers to an F12 rpm
for this would be appreciated.
OTOH it may not be a compat problem after all. The segfault is as
follows:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

As far as can tell _XmRenderTableFinaliseTag is part of libXm, which is up to date.
