Summarising state of things:

1. Current (problematic) version is:
        2.0.0rc1.git20130625-1.1
    from:
        http://librecad.org/cms/home/installation/rpm-packages.html
    ...which is the latest version I know about.

2. Current RPMS installed:
    librecad              2.0.0rc1.git20130625-1.1      => the main program
    librecadparts       2.0.0rc1.git20130625-1.1      => example files (not needed but useful test files)
    libdxfrw0             0.5.9-1.1                             => needed to run LC 2.0.x

3. It will not load any .DXF file, including the example files a3.dxf, screw.dxf, t-part.dxf and tux.dxf

4. It will not save any NEWly created .DXF file.

Total guesswork of course, this seems like a wild pointer problem (access to illegal address),
probably in the dxf support lib (all other LibreCad application-related functions work),
probably involving an innocent-looking conditionally compiled typecast which works for 64 bits but not 32 bits.

I think I may have to chip the rust off my debug/trace skills.  I am boasting of course, I don't have any skills.

Are there any newer versions I could try (preferably an RPM)?
