After doing some debugging, it looks like the culprit was actually the fam 
(File Alteration Monitor) package.

I downloaded the source RPM from ibibilio and rebuilt it on the Pentium box.  
I'm not sure what was wrong with Ben's RPM, but my rebuilt RPM worked for me. 

Using KMail from the Pentium to send this message. :)
