I copied BL2 to another partition and 'upgraded' glibc to 2.3.6
by copying over all the libraries in /lib that included *2.3.6* and 
chrooting there and running ldconfig.

BL2 still works.

Now when I try to load seamonkey I no longer get GDK errors about Xlib and 
locale, so that part was fixed by changing glibc.

But it still will not load.  I get back the prompt.

strace ./seamonkey looks similar (without the GDK error, which apparently 
was not the main problem.  Opera also complains about locale).

open("/root/.mozilla/init.d/"  O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|)x18000) = - ENDEND (No 
such file or directory)

stat64(0x808cda0, 0xbffeec34)  = - ENDENT (No such file or directory)
I get this four times.
one line about waitpid and no child process
one about shmat ....umoven:  Input/output error

.....
upeek:  ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, ...):  Input/output error

Then back to the prompt.

Should I be making a /root/.mozilla/init.d/ ?
Slackware 11 does not have one.  It does have a bunch of stuff in 
/root/.mozilla that could have come from Firefox 1.5 (or 3.0) or the 
installer version of Seamonkey.  I think I installed that before trying to 
use the non-installer (self-contained) version but not sure.

In SW11 I have
appreg default firefox mozver.dat and pluginreg.dat.
In BL2 (after trying to run Seamonkey) I now have
appreg default
It did not help to copy everything in /root/.mozilla from SW11 to BL2.

I have all the dependencies (other than the ones in the seamonkey 
directory, which the wrapper script should point to).

Steven, please could you try Seamonkey 1.1.15 in your upgraded BL2? If it 
does not work for you, I will ask The Answer Gang for help unless you want 
to figure it out.  I don't know how to interpret strace but could try to 
post the entire output.   Strace seems to generate a 'log' file that ends  in

kill(192, SIGINT)
--- SIGINT (Interrupt) ---
+++ killed by SIGINT +++

Which libraries did you upgrade and from where to work with Firefox 1.5? 
I can try copying them from Slackware 11 now that I have glibc 2.3.6.
