My hunch would be that your system isn't prelinked. Try:

    	LD_DEBUG=statistics konsole -invalid


Then look at the statistics:
     16744:     runtime linker statistics:
     16744:                final number of relocations: 0
     16744:     final number of relocations from cache: 2272


The 'final number of relocations' should be very small. e.g. on a system 
without prelinked binaries:

     16772:     runtime linker statistics:
     16772:                final number of relocations: 29518
     16772:     final number of relocations from cache: 62854



I'm not familiar with Suse 9.1, but I'm sure they also provide a prelink 
package.


Remember: each time you upgrade a dependant library, you need to run the 
prelink phase again (on RH/FC this is done from a cron job).
