That's the reason I hope to dare ask here. Normally, this is caused by compiling a program on a system using a newer version of a library (libc, in this case) than the one you run it on. I've absolutely no idea how this could happen on one machine though, since the program would, almost by definition, be linked against the C library installed on the system. -rob
