I recomplied exactly per your instructions, and nothing has changed. Oh, and I apparently wasn't explicit enough, the exact same binary that worked under 2.2.7-RELEASE previously is the one that failed under the SNAPs. Then I ftp'ed the binary (both the original and the new compile) to a machine that is still running 2.2.7-RELEASE, and guess what, they didn't work there either. Now I'm really confused, but since it seems to be a local phenomina, I'll go away now, at least until I figure out where it's hanging.
