Thanks to those who responded on- and off-list.
Resolved by:
- modifying sources.list to use stable only [0] - apt-get clean - apt-get -f install - ensuring that libdb1-compat wasn't installed - modifying sources.list to use testing only - apt-get install kernel-image - apt-get dist-upgrade
Result: a happy system running testing (I won't bother with unstable) and a 2.4.26 kernel.
Cheers, Roy.

From where this neophyte sits it appears that upgrading glibc requires a newer kernel, and to install a newer kernel I need a newer glibc.
[0] my box generated an out-of-memory error (thick-fingerdly closed the terminal before getting the exact message, grrr) when attempting to build the dependency tree for both stable and testing.
