The micro version number is ignored in a.out executable headers.  1.0.3 ->
1.0 is perfectly fine from the executable's perspective.  The only thing 
that cares is ldconfig, it'll choose the highest micro version number when 
building it's pathname cache.  However, I suspect 1.0 is treated as 1.0.0 
and an old 1.0.3 will be found in preference to 1.0.
