>Description:
if ldd can't find a shared library for a given file, it exits with a signal 11
which is not very helpful.

Actually it seems to be a problem in ld.so as ldd only sets a few LD_ 
variables. (maybe category lib would be more appropriate?).

Example: /usr/local/bin/faxalter was linked against libjepeg.so.7.0 wich i 
deleted, as the package was updatet to libjpeg.so.0.62..

magick@bundy:/usr/local/bin>faxalter
/usr/libexec/ld.so: faxalter: libjpeg.so.7.0: No such file or directory

magick@bundy:/usr/local/bin>ldd faxalter 
faxalter:
faxalter: signal 11

magick@bundy:/usr/local/bin>setenv LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS 1
magick@bundy:/usr/local/bin>faxalter
Segmentation fault

setenv 
>How-To-Repeat:
delete a lib which somebin is linked against
ldd somebin 

>Fix:
Print out what is missing if thats possible. (Solaris prints an lib not found)
