Lubos,
  Wow, that's interesting. By the way, from what youv've sent below,
I'd strongly recommend that you upgrade to VMD 1.8.2. The version you're
running isn't even a proper release version of VMD, so there's no telling
what bugs are in that alpha code that we've long since fixed..

Since the core file is large, do this and email me the results:
  gdb /usr/local/lib/vmd_LINUX vmd_LINUX.core

Once loaded, type the command "where" and email me what it says.

Thanks,
  John Stone
