I would put it the other way around. In your situation, not having the variable has severe performance problems.

On FC4 with /lib/tls and FC5 with an empty /lib/tls, both running 2.6 kernels, Bacula works perfectly fine. I suspect that you have an old /lib/tls that does not correspond to your kernel, and that is why you had problems. > > >> I'll try the environment fix and let you know tomorrow how it went. > > You might've guessed, the backup finally ran automatically.
