I was just upgrading a system from [hamm a few weeks old] to [hamm
today] using, for the first time, dftp (instead of a mirror and manual
dpkg -BORGiE runs.)  I selected libnfslock, it created
/etc/ld.so.preload, and since then any attempt to run a dynamic linked
program gives a message, BUG IN DYNAMIC LINKER ld.so, and something
about "i == npreloads".  (The broken machine is back at my office,
waiting for a root floppy [the rescue disk alone is useless in this
case] or I'd get it exactly...)

Just thought I'd warn people about it (since I've benefitted from
similar warnings here :-) though I haven't had a chance to debug it
more precisely... in particular, to figure out if it's only an ld.so
bug or if it's also a bug in the libnfslock package (it probably
warrants a predepends, or something, in libnfslock even if the only
bug is in ld.so.)
