You wouldn't. An strace would show you the return value (which should be -1
for an error, and a translation to errno definition). The -530 heavily hints
that you have somehow corrupted glibc (or kernel, or both). Another option
is a simple memory hardware problem. However, I'm not sure if you can run
memtest86+ in your hosting environment.
If something still functions on this system, than an:
rpmverify glibc kernel
May shed more light. If you reinstall eventually, it may be good to install
some integrity checker (like aide).
