Robin:
    I do have job and csa set to run at boot-time, the pam.d files have 
been modified, jobtest runs successfully, and jstat does return a jid when 
I log in.  I installed job and csa from sources, not from the rpm.

Oddly, I have just discovered a second error mode:

chicken04 root # /usr/sbin/csaswitch -c halt
/proc/csa ioctl failure, command='csa_halt'
  System Error(14): Bad address.
Unable to halt system accounting.
  System Error(14): Bad address.

As for system specs, I have reproduced the error with both a vanilla 
un-patched 2.4.26 kernel and the patched gentoo-sources 2.4.26 kernel. 
Glibc is 2.3.3. gcc is version 3.3.3.  I am using job 1.4 and csa userland 
2.2.0.  For pagg and job I am using the 2.4.26-4 patches.

Thanks for your help so far.  If there is anything else you want to know, 
please let me know.
