I'm using prelinked libraries and binaries on my RHL9 system with no problems. To do prelinking, I used /usr/sbin/prelink -av This works fine, except that many KDE binaries are not prelinked as the libGL libraries are not PIC (Program Independent Code). Why the heck libGL isn't built with PIC support? > Another bug showed up, and I'm not yet sure if it's related.

What kind of system is serving files through SMB? Any message on /var/log/messages or kernel ring? Maybe an strace of the smbmount command could be useful for tracking this. -- Please AVOID sending me WORD, EXCEL or POWERPOINT attachments.
