this was indeed the problem. upgrading to glibc-2.1.1 fixed it quite handily. i suppose i should've gone with my gut feeling and tried this before i posted ... i think i just subconsciously remember the first time i did a major library upgrade and ended up with no libc.so... and didn't know about sln. ;)
