OK. This is all on a Fedora Core 3 system. 

The *spell libs came from Fedora Core. The Inkscape package came from a
Gentoo-based nightly build system. I discovered this bug while testing
the Inkscape nightly autopackages, but it affects others like AbiWord as
well.

This bug would not normally surface, because the practise of recompiling
every program for every version of every distro means multi-ABI binaries
are virtually non-existent. Only now that we're doing large-scale
deployments of complex dynamically linked binaries via the autopackage
project has it appeared. I've been unable to find any prior references
to the problem on Google.
