[1] Ran "prelink -uav". It ran for 2 minutes 45 seconds and produced a 
lot of disk noise but no output.

[2] Rebooted.

[3] Ran "prelink -av --force".  Same result as before, it ran for a 
few minutes and produced 1 line of output.

I checked /usr/bin and /usr/lib, the timestamps on the files haven't 
been updated. Does a normal prelink run cause the file timestamps to 
be changed?

I'm baffled! Any more suggestions?
