Okay, we got it. I had to run linux_base-6 and *not* any type of linux_base (7.1) whatsoever. Since it would appear that running linux_base-6 and linux_base(7.1) are mutually exclusive (after all, they run non-compatable versions of glibc), here's a question: I have some software I can't upgrade (proprietary) that requires linux_base-6. If I install linux software from the ports, is it going to require linux_base 7.1? Here was the hangup: In order to install linux_base-6, svr4.ko had to be unloaded from the kernel. Once linux_base-6 was installed, svr4.ko could be loaded again and things still worked just fine. At least that's what I think the solution was. At any rate, I can run my linux binaries now, though I am still somewhat dis-satisfied. Why do things break under 7.1 and not 6? Again, thanks for the help guys.
