Update again:
glibc-2.3.1-46 _did_ break alot of things.  I
downgraded back to the one that came on the RedHat 8.0
CD.

You could downgrade to RedHat 7.3 (run up2date!) to
fix this problem, or work around it as I described.  I
hadn't tested that workaround, so your only option
could be going back to 7.3.
