Yup, Pat basically used all the Debian stuff.

Sure:
 - grab ftp://ftp.licr.org/pub/xview-3.2-0.1.p4.src.rpm
 - mock xview-3.2-0.1.p4.src.rpm on your 64-bit machine (for FC-[567])
 - install xview, xview-clients, and xview-debuginfo
 - launch "clock"
 - watch it loop (it will not display anything, and use 100% CPU)
 - attach a gdb to the process
