Boot from a rescue disk.
switch to the second terminal (Alt-F2) and get a shell by hitting <return>

mount the root file system, i.e.:

  mount /dev/hda1 /target

check if you have a non-empty /etc/ld.so.preload

  cat /target/etc/ld.so.preload

if so, either move it or remove it:

  mv /target/etc/ld.so.preload /target/etc/diasbled-ld.so.preload

sync the disk, unmount it, and reboot:

  sync
  umount /target

  Ctrl-Alt-Del

Cheers, Phil.
