    Hi all.
Such a question occured to me: i have file /usr/lib/libc.so.4 on 4.2 box and /usr/lib/libc.so.3 on 3.3 box. Is this a 1:1 relation
between number in the name of libc file and FreeBSD version?
    The reason for asking is: I have a program that did not want to run, shouting: "cannot find libc.so.3", on 4.2 machine, but when
i just "cd /usr/lib && ln libc.so.4 libc.so.3" it run ok. So the main question is: what are the big differences between libc.so.4
and *.3 , can i relie on a program run in such weird way ?

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you for your answers.
