Les, Thanks for the hint, but I already have the compat libs installed, and unfortunately, the 2.3.3 is not amongst them. IIRC, there was no listings for a 2.3.3 glibc for CentOS on any of the google sites I checked out. Several other distros, but none here. I'm grabbing the 3.5 /i386 bits now and will likely drop back to that version. I guess the weather development community is not quite ready for prime-time 64-bit OS's under linux, but other *nixes are already supported.
