I encountered this when following the instructions from

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver

The second attempt : Problem: Need to fully remove -fglrx and reinstall
-ati from scratch

I did the first, rebooted, tried gnubg, it still segv'ed

dpkg -l '*fglrx*'

and saw fglrx was still installed, so went after the more agressive
attampt.

tom@w2vy:~$ which gnubg
/usr/games/gnubg
tom@w2vy:~$ gnubg
