Comment (by rock):
I gave up, and booted to 32-bit Knoppix using the same Knoppix DVD and
unpacked the 32-bit
Tor Browser Bundle and it worked fine.
So, the problem is that the 64-bit TBB doesn't work on 64-bit Knoppix.
Googling, it seems I'm the only one reporting the problem on Knoppix, but
tons of people have the same problem on Ubuntu, so, it's a 32-bit/64-mix
mixup either on the Knoppix side or on the Tor side
(I'm not sure which because I don't understand the problem).
Nonetheless, the 32-bit TBB works just fine with the 32-bit Knoppix:

knoppix@Microknoppix:/media/sdb1/portable/tor-browser_en-US$ exit
exit
So, in summary, here's how to reproduce the problem in five minutes:
1. Obtain a Knoppix boot DVD (http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-
en.html).
2. Boot to 32-bit Knoppix (e.g., knoppix acpi=off xmodule=nv for the
Lenovo W510)
3. Download and unpack and run the latest 32-bit TBB (it will work).
4. Now boot to 64-bit Knoppix (e.g., knoppix64 acpi=off xmodule=nv for the
Lenovo W510)
5. Download and unpack and run the latest 64-bit TBB (it will fail).
