Problem with redhat-config-date

[Art Wagner <awagner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a fresh install of 8.0 and am having problems with 
redhat-config-date crashing. The error always seems to  be the same
and produces the attached error message. One point that baffels me is 
that ocasionally it works (1 out of 20 trys).
I have setup nntp and it is running and keeping my network's clocks 
synced to the master which is the new RH 8.0 system.
I'll gladly provide any forther info required but the ltrace and straces
are too large to post here.
TIA
