Here's what I'm getting when I try to load a java applet.  The page loads 
fine.  The applet does not.  Nor does the browser complain about a missing 
plugin.  However, this error appears in the console:

 LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library 
/usr/home/pauls/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so [Shared object 
"libdl.so.2" not found, required by "libjavaplugin_oji.so"]

libdl.so.2 exists in /usr/compat/linux/lib/libdl.so.2, and is listed in 
several places in /etc/libmap.conf, including for java3d:

grep libdl.so.2 /etc/libmap.conf
libdl.so.2                      pluginwrapper/flash7.so
libdl.so.2                      pluginwrapper/flash6.so

#libdl.so.2                     pluginwrapper/pips.so
#libdl.so.2                     pluginwrapper/oci8.so
