Application runs on 4.0, crashes with 5.0 ld.elf_so

[Gary Duzan <gary%duzan.org@localhost>]

   I've been using finance/kmymoney2 on a NetBSD/i386 4.0-branch server 
 box successfully for quite some time. A while back I tried running it 
on  my NetBSD/amd64 5.0-branch workstation, but it would always core 
during  startup. I was concerned, but I wasn't clear whether it was an 
OS or an  architecture problem, and I never did track down the specific 
cause. Now  I have finally gotten around to getting Xen going on my 
workstation so I  am more free to play with it, and here is what I'm 
getting.

   I start out with a minimally modified image of the server file 
systems (4.0 userland) in the DOMU with a 5.0/i386/XEN3PAE_DOMU kernel.

   * Full upgrade by ISO to 5.0 -> kmymoney2 cores
   - Restore image to start state
   * Plain boot with 4.0 userland -> fine
   * Replace /{usr/,}lib/lib*.so (from ldd list) with 5.0 -> fine
   * Replace /libexec/ld.elf_so with 5.0 -> kmymoney2 cores
   * Restore original 4.0 /libexec/ld.elf_so -> fine


   So something in the new ld.elf_so is causing problems for this 
program. Here is the stack trace from the last core:

   The stack trace I get from my 5.0/amd64 box is quite similar:

   Any ideas where to look next? I'd really like to upgrade the server 
to 5.0, but I can't until I'm sure kmymoney2 is going to work.

   Thanks.
