Are you _sure_ you were running 2.4.22? The code in ld.so is supposed
to choose the copy of libc in /lib for any kernel version less than
2.6.0, and the string "nptl/sysdeps" doesn't occur for any such
libraries - only those under /lib/tls.
I can't reproduce this. We're going to need more information somehow.

If you can reproduce this again the output of
"LD_DEBUG=all /lib/ld-linux.so.2 --list /bin/bash" would be very
useful.
