ldd /usr/bin/kword
showed nothing broken
I ran printenv with the root login shell and there was no LD_LIBRARY_PATH

At first I thought the output was Greek, but then I looked and found the
following:
open("/usr/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
write(2, "Mutex destroy failure: Device or"..., 46Mutex destroy failure:
Device or resource busy) = 46
/usr/share/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo
doesn't exist. I'm going to submit this to dot.kde.org.

I did this one anyway because I was sick of seeing crap in /tmp. I hope
that's not such a bad routine. Is it?
Thanks for the help! Any other ideas?
