MY assumption would be: You're running a script with bash (or
you're _trying_ to run a script with bash, maybe instead of sh)
at boot time, at least prior to the state when the dynamic loader
is fully operational. Depending on your configuration, a IPFW
configuration script could be such a script. Do you call /bin/bash
or /usr/local/bin/bash from somewhere within your IPFW config?

After ldconfig has been established, running bash (interactively
or as a scripting shell) should work as expected.

In worst case, you could try to build the statically linked
version of bash. ;-)
