Thanks Fernando, I wasnt using your JACK rpms so I missed the prelink 
problem patch. I've done a little googling and it seems that the latest 
version of prelink allows for 'blacklisting' of directories or files.  ie.
adding
-b /usr/bin/jackd
to
/usr/prelink.conf

*should* fix the problem in a slightly less kludgy way
