It's a list of paths which are automatically searched, when looking for
a shared object.

Do you have a file /home/cvsuser/jail/etc/ld.so.conf? When you chroot,
all files (including ones hardcoded into the executable you're running)
gets searched for in the new root.

mkdir /home/cvsuser/jail/etc/
cp /etc/ld.so.conf /home/cvsuser/jail/etc/
might improve matters.

Cheers,
Dave.
