A colleague and I was bitten by this once. It was messed up during the upgrade to glibc as you were probably using a 686 version then you upgraded to a 386 version bringing problems to the linked libraries. I can't remember exact steps but you can search for it on the redhat site. It involves exportiong LD_ASSUME_KERNEL so that you can install the proper version of glibc.
