segmentation fault when starting xawtv 3.88 on RH9 2.4.20-20-9

I recently installed a Haupauge WinTV Go (looks to be BT878) card in my
RH 9 (2.4.20-20.9) system.  I upgraded xawtv to version 3.88.  The bttv
and i2c modules seem to load fine according to /var/log/messages.

But enough of that... to the problem- whenever the xawtv command is
issued, I get the following:
        $ xawtv
        This is xawtv-3.88, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.20-20.9)
        Segmentation fault
For a split second, I see the flash of the xawtv window, then it's back
to the 
I would sure appreciate any help anyone can offer!

Thanks much,
