Somebody else experience this problem?

have you tried to do a yum downgrade glibc

[gvdb]

It's difficult to downgrade. A lot of packages depending on glibc.
I tried to rebuild totem from source but got an error.

[Jean Pierre]

A program which I have been using for over 20 years on several architectures suddenly began to segfault with the lastest glibc (2.14.90). This was caused by glibc in 32-bit mode using 128-bit mmx instructions for moving sets of 16 bytes in strcpy(). The strcpy() was used to shift strings one byte to the left, but the new way is not compatible with overlapping source and destination... which was supported 20 years ago, but is not any more.

I had to develop my own strcpy() to fix it.

This might help....
