I just upgraded a few machines (RHEL 4.4) to the latest stable, and
git-gui stopped working.  It just hangs forever if it's in a git
repository.  If it's not in a repository, it will open up the dialog
that lets you create or open a repository.  I'm not sure what's going
on, but here's the tail end of the strace -f:

[pid 16903] open("/usr/share/aspell/standard.kbd", O_RDONLY) = 3
[pid 16903] fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=100, ...}) = 0
[pid 16903] mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x2a983ce000
[pid 16903] read(3, "# Standard keyboard data file\n\nq"..., 4096) = 100
[pid 16903] read(3, "", 4096)           = 0
[pid 16903] close(3)                    = 0
[pid 16903] munmap(0x2a983ce000, 4096)  = 0
[pid 16903] fstat(1, {st_mode=S_IFIFO|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
[pid 16903] mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x2a983ce000
[pid 16903] write(1, "@(#) International Ispell Versio"..., 68 <unfinished ...>
[pid 16897] <... read resumed> "@(#) International Ispell Versio"..., 4096) = 68
[pid 16903] <... write resumed> )       = 68
[pid 16903] fstat(0, {st_mode=S_IFIFO|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
[pid 16903] mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x2a983cf000
[pid 16903] read(0,  <unfinished ...>
[pid 16897] write(5, "!\n$$cr master\n", 14) = 14
[pid 16903] <... read resumed> "!\n$$cr master\n", 4096) = 14
[pid 16897] read(6,  <unfinished ...>
[pid 16903] read(0,

Has anyone seen this before?  I wanted to get some other eyeballs on
this before I dive into this rabbit hole.
