xfig crashes (SIGSEGV) on new install of FC4

[Art Wagner]

Per my bugzilla bug;

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=167272
I am seeing a consistent (every Dern time I try it) crash of xfig-3.2.5-alpha5
every time I attempt to load a existing .fig file. Xfig actually crashes as soon as I click on the "file"
button.

 System message is:
"xfig3.2.5-alpha5: SIGSEGV signal trapped
xfig: figure empty or not modified - exiting"

Has anyone seen this problem and/or know of a fix or workaround?
