Well, if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it's because you're trying  
to run a browser that will be old enough to take driver's ed in a year  
or two.  And one that was notorious for buffer overflow issues.  As  
the core libraries have gotten more secure, and been built under  
different versions of g++ and glibc, the problems have shown themselves.

The right solution is to upgrade to something released after G. W.  
Bush took office.
