Thanks Stipe, I'm using Centos 4.2 with a 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp kernel (yup, it's smp), which derives from Redhat sources, so I guess the glibc-2.3.4 on the system might be the same from Fedora 4, and upgrading should do the trick, although the server is "borrowed" and I'm not sure if I'll be allowed to do so. Anyway, thank you very much for pointing out the source of the problem.
