System: NetBSD mac1.whooppee.com 1.2E NetBSD 1.2E (PGOYETTE) #60: Sun May 25 14:15:18 PDT 1997 paul@mac1.whooppee.com:/home/paul/src/sys/arch/mac68k/compile/PGOYETTE (current as of Sat May 24 04:53:29 1997) mac68k


>Description:
	/etc/rc cleans out /var/run and then proceeds to execute various
	utilities that are linked with dynamic libraries.  Since /var/run/ld.so.hints
	has been deleted, rtld fails and thus several utilities do not get
	started.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	Just do a normal single-user boot, and then type `exit' and watch
	the console messages.
	
>Fix:
