crash "Illegal Instruction (core dumped)" upon new wallet creation (3rd passphrase)

[Tcll]

OS: Xubuntu 14.04 x64
Armory Version: 0.96-beta-a3d01aa722
more information may be needed.

no wallet data was created or corrupted upon crash.

EDIT:
I should note I've been unavailable to afford internet for quite a few years now, and this phone has hardware-disabled teathering and hotspot.
(I can't even use adb to teather)

best I have is 2 towers and 2 laptops on a LAN router.
