You can e.g. unpack FC1 glibc into some subtree and run the game against that glibc instead. 1) make sure vdso=0 is passed on the kernel command line 2) mkdir ~/fc1glibc; cd ~/fc1glibc; rpm2cpio ~/glibc-2.3.2-101.4.i686.rpm | cpio -id 3) run the game with ~/fc1glibc/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path ~/fc1glibc/lib /the/game arguments
You can also try booting 2.4 kernel instead of 2.6 one.

Thank you very much for the information. I'm certainly learning a lot along the way. :)
I edited grub.conf to use the new parameter, rebooted, then used sysctl to verify it took effect. Then I performed the rest of the steps you mentioned, started the server, and unfortunately the problem is still there. I made sure to try both builds of the executable as well. Aside from the possibility the kernel is to blame, could there be other libraries native to FC1 that I may need? Perhaps the reason it still isn't fixed is because the virtual FC1 environment is not complete in some way.
Looking at the other libraries you are going to need the ncurses rpm also installed in that tree.
I would also check via lsof that the program is running with just those libraries. I would also try the last FC1 2.4.x kernel.
