Uhoh.  (It's a library, not an app, BTW.)

There is a reasonable chance of that.  Silly GNU/Linux has /bin
and /sbin binaries dynamically linked... yuck.

Looks like libc is screwed up.  This is a very bad thing.  Can
you:

	ls /usr/lib/libc*
	ls /lib/libc*

and tell us what you get?

If you copy /lib and /usr/lib from another machine, remember to
update ld.so.cache, too.  See the manpage for ldconfig(8).

You might be able to run 'ldconfig' as root and knock some sense
into the box.  Then again, it SHOULDN'T help... unless you've
been upgrading libraries, particularly glibc, you shouldn't need
to do this.
