Doh! So I am. :-< I'm still confused as to why running the application
explicitly using the glibc2.0 ld-linux.so.2 does not work.  From what
you've said and what I pasted before, it appears as though it's looking
for the 2.0.7 libdl but is complaining that the libdl it gets (apparently,
the glibc 2.1.1 one) is missing _dl_global_scope_end.

If db2inst execs /bin/sh (which it expects to be ksh), will ksh also use
the glibc 2.0.7 ld-linux.so.2 or does the environment get reset on the
(presumed) execve() or system()?
