Paul,

There are two versions at least of the unpack utility for linux on that 
site.  A version that is supposed to be able to run on more than just 
RedHat systems can be downloaded from a different link you need to write 
support at bookshare.org and ask them to send you.  The normal unpack utility 
worked on FC2.  I never did try it on FC3 or FC4 since haven't installed 
FC4 yet and won't have a fast connection for awhile.  The second beta 
version worked on FC2 slackware, and debian when I tested it.  I hope at 
least one of those versions can work on FC4 but I'd cross my fingers at 
this time.  Since you got a coredump, see if you can get the unpack.core 
file and send it to support at bookshare.org compressed in a zip file.  If 
neither version of the unpack utility will work for FC4, you'll be on your 
way to making a valueable contribution to their engineers helping them do 
the necessary debug work.
