Having lived through the std{io,err,out} libc snafu, the
libm.so.2 snafu, and now the libc.so.5/libpthread.so.1
problem, I will once again suggest that *ALL* library
version numbers should be bumped when a new branch is
created.
Yes, the above suggestion is a hack workaround, but I
know that it works for me with one commercial application
that I can't simply recompile.
