Chuck,

just a wild guess:

Is it possible that you have some ports on your system that were built
in the 5.3-BETA7 time frame? A version bump for several libraries was
performed then, and there was the advise to put the following into
/etc/libmap.conf:

# Handle shared lib version bump for 5.3-STABLE
libm.so.2                       libm.so.3
libreadline.so.4                libreadline.so.5
libhistory.so.4                 libhistory.so.5
libopie.so.2                    libopie.so.3
libpcap.so.2                    libpcap.so.3
