sorry to be an idiot - i'm not sure how to tell if its
linked statically or dynamically.  Looking through the
build messags I see a gcc -shared command in the lib
building section so I'm guessing dynamic linking but I
don't really know.

here is my glibc info

# rpm -qa |grep glibc
compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2
glibc-common-2.2.4-5
glibc-devel-2.2.4-5
glibc-2.2.4-5
glibc-profile-2.2.4-5

I ran the program using strace...
but I don't really know what everything means yet.
It looks to me like it is opening shared libraries and
allocating memory - but for some reason is not allowed
to allocate 0x40187000.
*shrug*
