prelink two step

If there is a more appropriate place to discuss prelink, please let me
know.

I am trying out prelink, however on some binaries it will fall into an
infinite recursive loop pattern. It is a two step cycle of prelink_ent()
in doit.c at line 58. For eg. the two libraries that keep checking each
other are /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 and /lib/libncurses.so.5

Doesn't prelink normally cater for this type of situation?

I have gcc 3.2.1, glibc 2.3.1 and binutils 2.13.90.0.18, on a Mandrake 9
based system.
