Keep in mind that if you have a .profile or .bashrc (on Linux) and it
sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH unconditionally, I _believe_ the inferior will
get that .profile L_L_P setting instead of the one you had in gdb.

A lot of people run into this, it is somewhat nonintuitive IMHO.
I haven't thought through the issue in depth, though; I vaguely remember
that other people had a good reason for this behavior.
