Not sure if this is harmless.   prelink -a aborts after doing its scan.   By strace looks 
like it finishes combing the directories specified in prelink.conf ok.  But I'm concerned 
it's not writing the cache properly because of this abort. 
 
Attached is output from stdout/err and strace.

Fix, 
use 
"prelink -fa" or do "prelink -au && prelink -a"

Prelink has a habbit of aborting if there a old prelinked files about.
