Konsole segfault and core dump

(FYI--mdk 9.0 on an i686) 

I have had problems with Konsole after upgrading to the full Qt
(Qt3, in my case).  Someone on a mandrake list said he also had the same
problem with Konsole and Kmail after building and installing Qt2.  I
don't use kmail, so that one isn't an issue for me. (It is a hassle
shutting down and restarting artsd after booting to have system sounds,
though.)  Right now, I can do everything I need to do in Konsole with a
virtual console, so I can get along while figuring this out and fixing
it.

When I try to open Konsole, I get a segfault and core dump from
libc.so.6   Tracking down the problem, I've found that in /lib/i686/ and
/lib/, libc.so.6 it is symlinked to libc-2.2.5.so but in /lib/lsb/ it is
symlinked to libc-2.2.90.so  Looks like a good setup for a
conflict...and if I try to list the contents of /lib/lsb/ from _inside_
the directory,I get a core dump...from _outside_ the directory, with a
full path, I get the list.

My first inclination is to change the symlink in /lib/lsb/ for lib.so.6
to point to the libc-2.2.5.so  to match the other two and allow
libc-2.2.90.so live there, too, in case something needs it.

Before I start changing symlinks, does anyone have an educated guess if
this is the correct change...or if there is something else I need to fix
instead?  Also--can changes be made while  running kde, do I need to use
a window manager other than kde or will I need to boot the install
CD1/rescue to make the changes without the filesystem mounted?

TIA,
Erik
