Bingo! We had a `setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/X11R6/lib/` in one of our
startup files.

Interestingly, this did not matter at all with 2.2.x and 3.1-RELEASE and
3.2-RELEASE, probably a side effect of the new Linux mode?

Thanks a lot for your help!


BTW, I noticed that http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/linuxemu.html still
has lots of information on 2.1-STABLE. Wouldn't it be appropriate to
remove that?

Do you think it's the case to mention LD_LIBRARY_PATH problems on that
page? If so, are you going to submit an update or should I try to come
up with something? ;-)

Thanks again,
Gerald
