The libstdc++.so.6 is dated October 23rd, less than one month ago and
newer than libstdc++.so.6.0.8. It seems like it was replaced after the
RPM was installed.

You can check the date the RPM was installed with 'rpm -qi
libstdc++-4.1.2-42.el5'.

You can also use 'rpm --verify libstdc++-4.1.2-42.el5' to check if the
files match the RPM database, I suspect 'rpm --verify ...' will tell
you that libstdc++.so.6 does not match the version that was installed
with the RPM.

Makes sense to me.

Same date on the offending file. Do you have any idea of what did you
install that day?

Probably not, it's probably something that was installed from source
and not from RPM.
