openSUSE v12.2 32-bit
KDE 4.8.5 "release 2"

Versions 2.0.0beta1 and beta5 crash with segmentation error when opening .DXF files.
Running the Windows version under wine works fine, but it is several months since the Linux-native Librecad has worked.

If I reinstall older Librecad versions, the same .DXF files correctly open in v1/0/2xx and v1.0.3-1.1.

Given that the LibreCad developers are obviously not experiencing the problem (100% crash failure rate), it is likely to be some wrong or missing file/configuration/dependancy/64-32-bit in the systems of those who are affected by this problem.

I had suspected some older version files are still hanging around the system or Yast is getting some incompatible RPMs from some repository elsewhere.  I had similar problems with openSUSE repository versions conflicting with "official" websites (like VLC, FreeCAD, kaffeine) and had to clean out my system thoroughly, then select one source.  Having done that, I still can't make Librecad v2.x load or save any drawings at all.
Aside from the above, Librecad is a pleasure.
