OK, I take it back ;-)

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is identical in both shell and CGI script environment.
Same goes for SYBASE and SYBASE_OCS.

None of the other environment variables seem even vaguely relevant.  I
didn't have time in my most recent visit to slavishly copy the whole
environment, but I'm doubting again that that's my problem...

Still, you may well be right that this is a linking problem.

Any other ideas??
