Hi Jaques and Jonathan, hi all!
Not to worry, SO's glibc doesn't break anything,at least it didn't on my
system. It's one of Linux' nicer features that different library
versions can happily coexist. Now the library loader may be something
completely different, but exchanging that didn't harm my system. I think
StarDivision's disclaimer is just that: a standard disclaimer.
