Thanks.  Sorry about the patch brokennesss.

This is properly strange.  The structure in .prefix appears to be intact, but 
the copy made in .data16 is empty by the time undibus_probe() executes.  I 
have no idea what could be causing this, especially since your binary is 
known-good on several other machines.

I would suggest that you try adding

  #include <undipreload.h>

  DBG_HD ( &preloaded_undi, sizeof ( preloaded_undi ) );

at various points in the code (starting with the top of main()) to find out 
when this structure gets zeroed out.
