Thanks for the replies everyone - as highlighted by Janky Jay and David, 
this was a pebkac issue. It's been one of those life^H^H^Hdays :/

interestingly enough the core dump seems to happen when i've ssh'd into 
another workstation and try to run xpdf remotely.  running it locally is 
fine.

thanks for the quick responses and sanity checks!
