I wouldn't touch updates-testing with a 10 foot pole. I don't believe I
wrote anything about update-testing, as a matter of fact. This was just
a "yum update blender" action, as I noted in my post. So, that dealt
with, is there anything I can do further to gather some sort of data
other than it blows up X? I'm not seeing anything related to it
in /var/log/messages or dmesg or anywhere else through the logs using
grep. If anyone is familiar with blender, is there something I can add
to the command to force a debug write to a file?? Then I could post a
decent bugzilla report. Update got me blender-2.45-10.fc7

I'm running fc7 and kernel 2.6.23.15-80.fc7. There is no man page for
blender, the doc file has no manual other than the python stuff. If
there is a missing depend, it did not include itself in the update. So,
I'd rather collect some sort of relevant data first, before a bug
report. Again, just reporting that it blew up would be, IMHO, lame. 

Thanks for any assist, Ric
