printtool seg fault?

RH7.2 with kernel errata patch (2.4.9-37tape)... no OCO modules.  When I 
try printtool the X client starts and then displays a message box 
saying: Application "/usr/bin/python" (process 3017) has crashed due to 
a fatal error.  (Segmentation Fault).

# uname -mrs
Linux 2.4.9-37tape s390

The version of python installed is Python 1.5.2 (default)
On a whim I tried symlinking /usr/bin/python to my python2.2, but then 
printtool complained about missing util libraries (at the console, not 
X) and I didn't pursue that road further.

Is this Seg Fault something unique to my installation?
