Correction - the snapshot build wasn't clearing out old pgagent builds, 
and because no changes had been made to the source since a dynamic build 
was run in the same tree, it wasn't recompiling pgagent.

I've fixed the snapshot script to cleanup properly before it starts, and 
regenerated a snapshot with a statically linked pgagent - get it from 
http://developer.pgadmin.org/snapshots/linux/slackware/pgadmin3-20061127.tgz

Of course, I can't guarantee there won't be other issues if your not 
running an up to date Slackware.
