That is not true, it should be like this, but it is not.
While upgrading I accidently remove some include files in /usr/include.
When a read the tarfile new onto the filesystem (including the actual running
libc.so) the lib gets overwritten. The tar program hung.
On an other window I have to use ldconfig to install an older lib
so that it was possible to reload the lib from the tar file.
I was searching for the error in kernel source, it seems that
the flag VM_DENYWRITE is not set while loading a shared elf lib.
you also can try a
cat >> /lib/libc.so.5.3.12
it works.
