Well... didn't work.  It just dawned on me to try a "ldd" to see what 
was actually being used...

Result:

myhost:/home/xxxxx# ldd libflashplayer.so
./libflashplayer.so: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found 
(required by ./libflashplayer.so)

ok... hmmm.... this all seems oddly familiar.  I've got Etch with 
2.3.6.  How can I get glibc 2.4 for Etch?  Or should I "simply" upgrade 
to Lenny?

Thanks for the help!
