UPDATE: Robby Workman helped me in private mail, and unfortunately
couldn't find the exact cause of the problem. I'd been upgrading and
downgrading quite a bit and my system was a mess, so it was probably
some extraneous config file or library. After reinstalling
Slackware+GSB from scratch, everything works fine.
