Aliased IP was removed the old fashioned way (ifconfig eth0:0 down). The linuxconf dialog still crashes even without any aliased IPs. linuxconf also crashes with same error when lo0 is selected instead of eth0.
This sounds like some program on your system is leaking shared memory regions. I can't reproduce this here. You can use ipcs to list shared memory segments, and ipcrm to delete unused segments. One other thing to try is upgrading to the latest linuxconf in updates, if you haven't already. There could be some bug that I don't know about in the earlier version. If there are no leaked shared memory segments sitting around on your system and the new linuxconf does not fix this either, then please reopen this bug, and include the output of ipcs and of rpm -q linuxconf gnome-linuxconf gtk+
