Without the v "/sbin/ldconfig" produces no out put, with the -v it 
causes the screen to print an endless stream of data. None of that 
output made any sense to me :-O I scrolled up and apparently it 
generated so much output that the data overflowed the buffer so I can 
not tell you what the beginning may have contained.
