Slackware uses libc5 and redhat 5.1 probably uses libc6. If you tried
upgrading your slackware setup to redhat, after it switched your libs I
couldn't imagine much working besides the kernel. Anything dynamically
linked to libc5 will die a horrible death. This may be the cause of your
troubles. I would suggess tar'ing up all your important files somewhere
and reformatting.
