Dropbear fails to run as a daemon.

I compiled and ran dropbear successfully on a Debian box but I get the
following error when I copy and run it an embedded system I'm building:

Jan  1 01:00:16 embedded user.info sshd: premature exit: Failed to
daemonize: Success

The executable runs fine when I fire it up with the -E or -F arguments
but I can't get it to run as a daemon.

I copied dropbearmulti along with...
 libutil.so.1
 libcrypt.so.1
 libc.so.6
 ld-linux-so.2

Does anyone have any ideas what is going on?
