Whoops, it doesn't like it much; I was hoping for a warning but it produced
an abort instead. Your suggestion below should work nicely, though.
| 1. mv /etc/ld.so.preload /etc/ld.so.preload.foo
| 2. mv /lib/getcwd.so /lib/getcwd.so.old
| 3. cp getcwd.so /lib/getcwd.so
| 4. mv /etc/ld.so.preload.foo /etc/ld.so.preload
The only real problem with this is if it's done twice without an intervening
reboot then things will fall over as happened to Max; that's why I stressed
that while a reboot isn't essential, it's a good idea. But if for some
reason it's not possible to reboot immediately, one can run indefinitely as
long as they don't try to replace getcwd.so again (or they can rename it to
something else in step 2, so /lib/getcwd.so.old is still untouched).

We are Linux. Resistance is an indication that you missed the point.
