Jamie,
The nearest I could tell from what I saw was that Caldera got a bad binary or mismatched GLIB/LIBC5 objects when they did the 2.4 build. When I rebuilt glib and egcs under GLIB 2.0 it went away. I can recreate it reliably from the OpenLinux 2.4 CD. Here's the current versions on their CDROM that cause this problem. The Linux kernel is 2.2.15.
binutils-2.9.5.0.16-1.i386 glibc-2.1.2-3.i386 glib-1.2.6-1.i386 egcs-2.91.66-5.i386
I did upgrade to a modutils version not shipped with OpenLinux 2.4, but I hardly think this is the problem. I upgraded modutils since modules won't load on 2.4.0 without at least this version:
modutils-2.3.10
:-)
