1) Issue still occurred
2) This worked although there is some weird screen updating / painting going on. Since this solved the crashing I'm more than willing to deal with the screen painting weirdness. The screen weirdness involves some of the fluxbox chrome not properly repainting and having the background go all black when I launched my first program. I had to "paint" the background by dragging the application window around to get the background color to be painted correctly.
3) didn't try due to #2

etc on the web and the issues that popped up seemed to be related to old kernels.
Let me know if I missed any relevant information or details.
I appreciate the help.
