I might add that I can take the glibc rpm from the 7.2 cd's and install
it on
the SuSE7.3 system and this app works. Of coarse I can't leave that
version of
glibc on this box because it breaks things. As soon as the 2.2.4 rpm is
reinstalled
the app segfaults during the shmat call. I did this with the same kernel
running.
