This is a Fedora/Redhat box, isn't it? We've seen other reports on such
systems with similar sympthoms, and although we suspect it being SeLinux or
similar that is playing tricks on you it hasn't yet been verified.

I'd suggest using strace and/or gdb to figure out exactly what fails, as then
we can start tracking down the why part.
