I would recompile...in fact I DID recompile (xfstt that is)

This cropped up on me when I rebuilt xfstt (after just a minor documentation
fix!) 

In the end I found out that I had a new libc and libstdc++2.9 that were fine..
however somehow I had libstdc++2.8-dev installed! I dunno how it happend
(afterall...I have compiled things just fine within the past couple
of months since libstdc++2.8 was removed)....

I don't know if this would effect you or not...but it is a possibility.
