The __ctype_b thing happened in glibc in RH 8.0, but an errata "fixed"
it, I think.  This is a WONTFIX in 9+, so it looks like that .o needs a
recompile under RH9/FC1/RHEL.  Look here (one of many bugzilla's I'm
guessing):

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=86465

and a little more:

Looks like Oracle got bit by this as well.
