Just a shot in the dark: are you running Debian Squeeze by chance?
I've stumbled upon this bug [1] in it, which looks similar to the
symptoms you describe.

Next time please consider that "Linux" is just a kernel, and you're not
running FB on Linux, you're running it on some operating system which
just happens to use Linux as its kernel. Bugs in software may be
caused by myriads of various factors, often not rooted in software
itself, but rather in the libraries they use, the ways the system is
configured etc. So always specify precisely which version of which OS
you're running and how did you obtain the software which shows
problematic behaviour -- I mean, did you install FB from a package
provided by your OS or fetched ready-made package from somewhere else
or built from the sources?
