Which version of FreeBSD?
If you have time, please rebuild "src/libexec/rtld-elf" with
DEBUG_FLAGS=-DDEBUG. Make a copy of your existing
"/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1" and then install the debugging version.
Run your first test case like this:
script Log.1
env LD_DEBUG=1 LD_PRELOAD=libdsocks.so telnet
(exit telnet and get out of "script")
and likewise for the failing test case (with a different filename
for script, of course). Send the output to me and I'll try to
figure out what's happening.
After you're done, you should restore your original (non-debugging)
rtld. It's more efficient and also probably more secure.
