The sound of 'Doh!' echoes across the valley.....

There was an "LD_PRELOAD=libaudiooss.so.1.0:libaudio.so.2" in the session in
which I did the rpm -bb mergeant.  So apparently LD_PRELOADs at compile time get
built into the application.... even if the libraries don't exist.... learn
something every day.  Only the audio libs (from nasd) aren't on this box right
now...  Doing an "export LD_PRELOAD=" and rebuilding the RPM fixed the problem.  

But I still think "--nodeps --force" should have rammed it in anyway.
