I should probably try to reproduce the error on one of our more standard 
OS's at the lab. I think Fedora 8 might the best first choice.

I did in fact build cernlib myself and for the first time; so that is an 
area of concern. The Fedora 8 cernlib that I would be using would be the 
one the Computer Center (IT Division, whatever) is using, so that would 
be a difference.
