I opened a ticket on Redhat's bugzilla system [1], and immediately got
a reply that the bug is a duplicate of a similar Gnome bug [2] from
nearly a year ago. <br>
While the results seem similar, I doubt it's the same bug as all
library versions have bumped up since then. <br>
But I'll try the patch suggested [3] to gdal (!) to see if it helps. <br>

<font size="+1">Well, surprise, surprise. This segfault problem does
indeed seem to be an old GDAL bug that has somehow resurfaced!<br>
I made the small change suggested in the above bugzilla report
(id=498111). It's a minor change to the configure.in script. I wiped
the whole source directory of gdal, applied the suggested change, then
./configure; make; sudo make install.<br>
Then I rebuilt qgis and presto it worked!<br>
<br>
Why this problem cropped up now and not earlier? only <enter your
favorite deity> knows...<br>

I try to always use rpms keeps things cleaner if I have to delete
something :<)<br>
<br>
So I tried to rebuild the gdal rpm with the patch but that caused some
undefined symbols and swig has been updated since the gdal build and it
fails as well! So I just disabled grass for the gdal build (I don't
use grass much so I think it's OK for me) and fixed the swig issue
(found a patch on a ubuntu forum) and that built. Once I updated gdal
qgis works again! You don't even have to rebuild qgis since it's using
libgdal.so. From reading the forum I suspect that a real fix needs to
be done for the proj library so it doesn't leave it's symbols open but
I'm not sure if I get a chance I'll play around with that.<br>
