After the massive shared library version bump (around 6BETA3, IIRC) I 
added a mapping for the old libraries to the new ones, as suggested in 
this list. Something like:

libpthread.so.1 libpthread.so.2
libz.so.2 libz.so.3
libm.so.3 libm.so.4
...

That sort of thing. If you haven't done anything like that, forget about it.

Cheers,
