Problem solved.  Yes, it was the library paths.  Under the old OS
(sol7), libstdc++'s location was compiled in.  Somehow that's gotten
lost under solaris 8.  Whatever.

The workaround I currently have is to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the
wrapper to point at all the right places.

Obviously, I'll have to recompile the whole thing with LD_RUN_PATH set
correctly.

Thanks to Jim Cole for pointing me in the right direction.

Cheers.
