It all looks normal to me.

I rebuilt and reinstalled leafnode, because when I tried running gdb
this morning, it complained it couldn't find any debugging symbols.
It still complains it can't find debugging symbols, but leafnode now
works.  So the chances are that some of my file system problems
screwed up something the the install program fixes.  

I don't understand why gdb is complaining about the debugging symbols, 
because it looks to me like there are -g's everywhere there should be.

Thanks for your help.
