The command that is actually run at startup is something like:

  /etc/rc3.d/S30asterisk start

And it is actually run from an environment that is slightly different
from your standard shell. Try isuing it through inittab or through an at
or cron job to get a more realistic environment if you suspect that.

A nicer trace would be done using 'set -x' . Add that line somewhere in
the init script. Compare the output from the good case to the output
from the bad case.

BTW: any reason why the "redhat" and "debian" init.d script in the contrib 
directory still use LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 ? It is not used in the
init.d script of the Debian package and not in the init.d scripts that
appear to be newer in that directory.
