I know for a fact that there is a patch that is well known under SuSe. I can't remember the details but it's a SuSe problem that has never been fixed. I found it under the archives a year or so ago. Sorry I can't remember more but I do know that the Wolfram people know and can tell you how to fix it. The fix is actually on the SuSe web site as I recall.
