Looks like I can't track it down. I tried, but with no success. I fetched
the latest sources, configured, compiled, and tested - no problems
with libc.so.5.4.7. My best *guess* at this point is a change in a symbolic
constant rendering any version compiled a while ago unviable with the
new library. However, this probably means that the mtools package should
be updated.
