'halt' on the other hand executes immediately. Please check the mailing list archive, I've asked the same question about a week ago... The solution was to update rtld(1), actually /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf/alpha/reloc.c to version 1.10.2.3 and rebuild rtld. (Hint from Andrew Gallatin, fix from Doug Rabson) I went through this and it solved the problem immediately.
