Could it by that the dynamic linker is being invoked recursively? That 
is, while something is being dynamically linked, a SIGALRM or equivalent 
arrives, some idle timer code is run, and the dynamic linker is invoked 
before the outer linker finishes? I imagine that might put some dynamic 
linkers into a tizzy.
