One last data point:  In my ISO booted vmware session, I can see hslsd 
segfaulting before the login: prompt.  If I try and run /etc/rc.d/hslsd 
manually I also get a segfault.  However, I can run /usr/sbin/hslsd and I 
get no segfault and I see the process in the process list.  I can even run 
it with -d flags and watch it print debug messages.

I'll check on "real" hardware next time I'm at the lab.
