Description of problem:
The installer will intermittently crash when trying to bring up the 
timezone map.  Anaconda simply crashes and shuts the pc down and then says 
it is safe to reboot.  I was loading a new install from the cd-rom, and I 
was using the graphical login.  When I tried installing using text mode it 
worked.

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Reboot and try the graphical login again.
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  The same thing as before with the identical error message 
which was that it couldn't create the map object.

Expected Results:  brought up the timezone map.

I'm almost certain that your cd is bad.  I would recommend redownloading the ISO
image and trying again.
