Replying to my own post:

luckily the fix for this is really simple - edit /etc/passwd and change 
the uid and gid for the "nobody" user to look like this:

nobody:x:1000:1000:no one:/dev/null:/bin/false

        Basically, you need to replace all instances "65535" with "1000". 
Evidently uclibc does not like uids that high.  I don't know how high 
uids can go in uclibc, but 1000 seemed like a good place to start...  If 
you have any files owned by nobody (why?) you will have to do a "chown" 
on them.

        I will be committing these changes to SVN soon.

Let me know how it goes!
