That could explain it..  interesting that prelink didn't see the failure.

I'd suggest running w/ -v and see if that will tell you what it was processing
at the time.  Also collect a core and run me a back trace.  (You should create a
bug on bugzilla.yoctoproject.org.. add that info and assign it to me..  I'll try
to reproduce it or at least trace through the code and see what may have lead to
the failure.)
