   I'm not quite clear about what you're saying.  Are you saying that your
   app, statically linked with a pre Sep 1 libc_r works ok on a pre Sep 1
   3.0-current, but that this same statically linked app does not work on
   newer 3.0-current systems?

Yes. That is exactly what I am saying. 

   If so, I'd agree that recent changes to libc_r
   are probably not the cause of the change in behavior.  Are you still doing
   lots of forks and execs?

Yes. We are. However, we do close our file descriptors after the fork and
before the exec.

Could this be a aout vs ELF thing? Our binary is aout.


I'm thinking about doing a fresh install of the latest 3.0 and
rebuilding. I assume the latest stuff will make us produce ELF
binaries. Right?
