 The latest Linux 64-bit Tor Browser Bundle fails every time on Knoppix 64:

 Here's how to reproduce:
 1. Download the latest 64-bit TOR Browser Bundle for Linux.
 2. Boot to a Knoppix 64 bit disk (I tested this on a Lenovo W510 laptop).
 3. Try to start the TBB and you will fail every single time.

 Here's how I booted to a Knoppix DVD on my 64-bit Lenovo W510 laptop
 (with Nvidia graphics):

 knoppix at Microknoppix:~$ uname -a
 Linux Microknoppix 3.6.11-64 #10 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 19 23:51:48 CET 2012
 x86_64 GNU/Linux

 Here's a log of the bug in the latest build of TOR such that it fails
 every single time on Knoppix.

 The question is why doesn't the TBB work on 64-bit Knoppix?
