I've just tested with nx 3.1, it fails the same way now indeed. And,
switching to gcc 4.2.4 (and latest 3.2 tarballs), I got a working nxagent
(well at least it shows a black window and does not fail on "core
keyboard").

So I stand corrected, this is rather a GCC problem...

Apparently they do not use gcc-4.3 ;)
