I did a google search, and found that another person had that same problem
but with kernel 2.2.17.  I don't think it's a kernel issue.  It's either
a problem with glibc or binutils.  In a response, Andreas of SuSE says:

Update to newer binutils,  2.10.1 should be ok.

So maybe we're dealing with a buggy binutils?  It's happened before.
