It would be good if you a) made sure you have RHL9 errata glibc
b) if the problem persists, you tried whether it
is just /usr/X11R6/lib/tls/i686/libGL.so.1.2 or also
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from 4.3.0-17 with libGL optimizations.
You can do so by running the program normally, see if it crashes, then
say
mv /usr/X11R6/lib/{,no}tls; /sbin/ldconfig
and retrying (you restore it back by mv /usr/X11R6/lib/{no,}tls; /sbin/ldconfig).
Also, if you could see where the crash happens by running the
program with:
LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libSegFault.so SEGFAULT_OUTPUT_NAME=/tmp/program.segv \
  /path/to/the/program
and sending us /tmp/program.segv afterwards, it would be very appreciated.

For TLS you need glibc-2.3.2-27.9 or above (if you're upgrading by
hand, be sure to upgrade to .i686.rpm).
