I can't reproduce here : it starts nicely, after eating 1500MB of RAM. 
- why do you export FG* ?
- do you have enough memory? Today, flightgear needs at least 2GB, and of course good GPU.

Silly me, I read http://mapserver.flightgear.org/getstart/

Getting rid of the exports cleaned up the looping errors.

I think so.
$ free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          3706        813       2892          0         45        312
-/+ buffers/cache:        456       3249
Swap:         3812          0       3812

It is something in my user account.
I have deleted .fgfs and .fltk sub-directories, ran fgrun again and I can not get it to work correctly using --aircraft=CitationX

Running in another user account does not show the same problems. My account attempts to show hud and cannot see the controls. Other account shows controls and no hud.

In either account, fgrun does not show all the aircraft found in
/usr/share/games/flightgear/Aircraft

I'll mark this resolved and open a new bug when I can localize the problem.

Status: UNCONFIRMED => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
