Segmentation fault when starting Folding@home

Just built a new arch system x86_64 and can't get the foldingathome smp client 6.29 from AUR to start.

fah6[3118]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f0701468bf3 sp 00007fffebea3b90 error 6 in libc-2.12.so[7f07013f6000+153000]

Update:

After adding a swap file, the error changed a bit. 

Error from everything.log:

root@speedy:/var/log# tail -1 everything.log 
Jun  5 01:50:17 speedy kernel: fah6[3115] general protection ip:7feb916a58fe sp:7fffe1f626b0 error:0 in libc-2.12.so[7feb91672000+153000]

Error from shell:

root@speedy:/opt/fah-smp# ./fah6

Segmentation fault

I thought I remember seeing a lib32 dependency in the smp PKGBUILD a while back?  It's just glibc now.  It's past my bedtime, so it might make more sense after some sleep.

Update #2:
Still segfaults on new install, but runs fine in an old virtualbox VM.

edit: i found a fix, if you start  nscd by running:

/etc/rc.d/nscd start

before you fold it works
