Well, the GDB errors appear to have been caused by a borked nvidia
driver install.  (I hope that you've NEVER installed the straight nvidia
drivers without following the directions here... (for Fedora)
http://fedora.artoo.net/faq/#nVidia)

On reinstall of the system (fastest easiest way to fix...) everything
was peachy.  Then a night passed, and in the morning, winex started
telling me that it couldn't exec things, giving an error=21.

This is buried in the transgaming site (grumble... fix your site so that
finding info is, if not easy, not fscking hard.) and is to edit the
/etc/sysconfig/prelink set prelink to no and rerun the daily cronjob. 
/etc/cron.daily/prelink.

This could slow some operations down, but I haven't noticed anything. 
Have I shot myself in the foot somewhere else?
