>Description:
After the switch to ELF i had several self compiled programs that don't set 
the library paths correctly via -Wl,-R..
As I'm a lazy person i just set 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/pkg/lib:/usr/local/X11/lib
(the equivalent to ld.so.conf)

After that, i wanted to start netscape, but shortly after loading my X froze
and i could only reset the computer via reset switch.

Other linux binaries showed unresolved symbols errors or produced bus errors.

I don't know where exactly the problem is. Maybe it's a bug in the linux ld.so.
(then category pkg would be more apropriate).
>How-To-Repeat:
	set LD_LIBRAY_PATH=/usr/pkg/lib:/usr/local/X11/lib and watch linux 
binaries explode (if the system runs long enough).
>Fix:
	No idea.
