ld.so (both 1.7.x and at least 1.8.3 using SuSE 4.4) has a SEVERE bug: if
/etc/ld.so.cache
is an empty file, every binary using shared libs will SEGV !
this happend for unknown reasons when e2fsck decided to truncate this file and thus every reboot hung immedieately after the
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
message and things like booting "init=/bin/sh" didn't help either (obviously;) and locating this "reboot problem" was no fun (was a long distance call for some hours;)
