     Deleting the file..then removing the rpm and re installing it 
doesn't change anything.
Neither does deleting ldconfig's cache, or re installing GLIBC . It's a 
resistant error if nothing else.

     The good new is it doesn't **seem** to affect any of the software I 
use on a
daily basis. If and when it does, I have 3 other partitions of usable 
Linux distros :)
