Mike,

Thanks for your response.

Since originally writing that message, I had done some tests (there was a
misconfiguration in mailer that my browser called on the system I was
sending from so the message got sent out much later when it was corrected).

I had tried running the exact same executable both in the jail and outside and got a different set of libraries. One odd thing that I had also noticed is that when I ran "ldd" against the same executable, I came up with a different set of libraries. I'm not sure what controls the library searches. As far as I can tell the libraries
are the same also.

However, since then, my /var/run/ld-elf* files have changed. I no longer see
the problem or the differences in ldd.  This may have corrected the problem.

I'm seeing the same problem with pkg_info on FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE.
However, I also found that even when running as the root user, if
I'm in a chroot jail, it does not fail.

Sometime after experiencing this problem I discovered that my ports had suffered from the accidental introduction of some packages which had been built for rev. 6.4 (see the thread under http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2010-January/210421.html). As a result of this I had to completely remove and re-install all my ports and I haven't seen the "leave_playpen" problem since then. It might be just coincidence or it may be that pkg_info just got confused by all the links to wrong and non-existent libraries. Could it be that the ports in your main system are corrupt but those in the jail are clean?
