I guess this proves that my experience with the Boost libraries is
irrelevant. Thanks for this further analysis.

It works out of the box with a clean install and update of all installed packages. However, it appears that some other package that I install later on breaks VPython. It also appears that the issue is somehow tied to NVIDIA drivers, since I don't have this problem on machines with Intel graphics. Others have reported that the seg fault starts after updating the NVIDIA pacakges for CUDA. I have not done that (yet), so it appears the problem is more general than that. Hopefully, we'll be able to track down the offending packages once I get some lab help back later this week.
