Root-enfoced maximum length to LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Hi roottalk,

I'm having trouble with root.

I'm on a rhel3 box, running root4.00.08f.

% echo $ROOTSYS

/disk02/software/root/root4
% which root
% echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

/disk02/software/root/root4/lib:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/opt/kde/lib:~/lib:/disk02/software/root/root4/lib::.
% root -b -q

This works with no problems.

If I now
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/disk02/software/root/root4/lib:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/opt/kde/lib:~/lib:/disk02/software/root/root4/lib:.:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:123456789:

so that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is long, now
% root -b -q

core dumps.

This call also core dumps:
% root -l

And this one hangs with the splash screen popped up:
% root

Any advice? (other than just shorten my LD_LIBRARY_PATH. That's not an option.)

Thanks,
