Is there a 'core' dump? or segment fault? What libraries is the application using (ldd)?

I knew I would get that question.  I can't talk about the specifics of
the program, but let's say that it is a UI with many options to choose
from on the main screen.  You can arrow to the different options, but as
soon as you try to execute one of the options (Enter) it will freeze.
It also freezes when you try to exit normally (Esc).

Thanks for the help.

Jon
