I'm using 'snoopy logger' and came upon this problem with compatibilities.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/snoopylogger/

This library is preloaded (/etc/ld.so.preload ) and logs activity.

So, on a 64bit system, having the 32bit and 64bit version of library installed and included in the /etc/ld.so.preload file, when:
Running a 64bit app, complains that the 32bit library could not be loaded.
Running a 32bit app, complains that the 64bit library could no be loaded.

The same problem applies, that ld.so.preload does no differentiate between 64 and 32 bit libraries.

Tested on rhel5 and lucid.
