And I have to re-correct myself!  Looking at our other (RedHat) linux
installations, they *do* have unnumbered versions of the libraries
hard-linked to the numbered ones.  And so do most of the /usr/lib
entries on the failing box.

So I imagine that this *is* the problem.  I don't really want to go in
and add hardlinks to everything by hand, so I'll have to investigate
why this situation exists at all, and how to fix it.

I'll get back to the group when I have more info.
