Is that strictly so?  I just tried using the older library and agent
versions (3.2.0-1 and 3.2.0-5 respectively) specified in the nx-3.2.0-r1
ebuild, and I'm getting the exact same error.

Might it be a latent bug that's triggered only with more recent compilers?
This is a Debian sid amd64 machine with gcc 4.3.1 and libc 2.7.

I pulled nxagent from the nxnode package and dropped it in place of the
existing binary.  It appears to work, at least with the "nxnode --agent"
test (haven't had time to check further).

I suppose I could use this as a stop-gap solution.  Is there any difference
between No Machine's nxagent and the one compiled from source?  I imagine
there shouldn't be (modulo whatever difference triggers the error).

Still, this irks me.
