Debian 2.1 doesn't use glibc 2.1.2. Think it uses 2.0.7 and there are
some incompatibilities. You'll either need to recompile the program for
Debian 2.1 systems, or upgrade them to potato. Probably easier to
recompile if you have the source. But, then again, the sources might
require glibc2.1.
You can check library dependencies for an executable with ldd.
