Is your /usr/X11R6/bin/xload a symlink to /usr/lib/xaw-wrappers/wrapper ?
I tried to reproduce this, and I can't -- I get another set of errors:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>xload
ldd: can't open /usr/X11R6/bin/xload.real (Permission denied)
xaw-wrappers: unable to determine libc version of /usr/X11R6/bin/xload.real.
What version of xaw-wrappers are you using?
This begs the question -- why on earth is xload suid on a debian system? It
doesn't need to be! I think you can just remove the suid bit from xload and
then it will work ok with xaw-wrappers.
