Hi Folks,
=09OK, heres the results of ktrace. Very interesting...

  2268 ktrace   EMUL  "netbsd"
  2268 ktrace   CALL  execve(0xbfbfbbee,0xbfbfbb24,0xbfbfbb34)
  2268 ktrace   NAMI  "/usr/pkg/emul/linux/sbin/ldconfig"
  2268 ldconfig EMUL  "freebsd"
  2268 ldconfig RET   execve JUSTRETURN
  2268 ldconfig CALL  #221 (unimplemented semget)(0xbfbfbb60,0xbfbfbb50,0=
x3)
  2268 ldconfig RET   #221 (unimplemented semget) -1 errno 2 No such file=
 or=20
directory
  2268 ldconfig CALL  #221 (unimplemented semget)(0xbfbfbb60,0xbfbfbb50,0=
