This appears to be a problem with the New Posix Threading Library (NPTL)
that is included in Redhat 9.0.  If you enable the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
workaround it should work.  

Alternatively, you can try upgrading your kernel to 2.4.21 (the one
included in Rh 9.0 is 2.4.20).  I've done some prelminary testing and
this seems to work fine.  Of course, Redhat 9.0 still isn't a supported
platform.  Its not clear at this time that we will be able to support
out-of-the-box Redhat 9.0 installations without requiring the NPTL
disabling workaround.

Best regards,

Brent
