Fink has to play a trick in order to get OS X's prebinding system to work.
Fink doesn't know at compile/link time what addresses to assign for
prebinding, since they will depend on the details of your system, what
else you have installed, etc.  So Fink assigns some temporary prebinding
addresses, and then when the package is installed on your system,
a script to update the prebinding is run at the end of installation.

If something interrupts that script, its possible for the prebinding data
to get corrupted, leading to the kind of address mismatch which you saw.

By the way, this update of prebinding is the same thing that is going on
with the OS X Installer (or Software Update) when it refers to
"optimizing...".
