   You're sick & twisted, just like me.  I was expecting the same thing. :)

   No improvement.  I took the binaries to my test vBox, did a 'blind' install of   
   the libc.so.6 package available for Puppy (i.e. not knowing if it was already   
   installed).  Then rebooted (eek! it's second reboot in a year!).  Re-ran   
   "./fmail[Enter]" and this time got two error lines. The first error referred   
   to libc.so.6 as being from GLIBC 2.7 and then the second error as for the   
   first, above.   
      
   I suspect a glitch in your 64-bit configs but take that with a grain of salt,   
   as I am not even a 'novice' in such things.  I'm hanging out for a makefile   
   solution, for a local build.  I've already been working on solutions for my   
   predicament since March last year.  I can wait.  :)   
      
   I may try another vBox of a more modern OS but that be months away...   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
