Comment 1 Rahul Sundaram 2006-02-20 11:03:26 UTC

These bugs are being closed since a large number of updates have been released
after the FC5 test1 and test2 releases. Kindly update your system by running yum
update as root user or try out the third and final test version of FC5 being
released in a short while and verify if the bugs are still present on the system
.Reopen or file new bug reports as appropriate after confirming the presence of
this issue. Thanks

Comment 2 Matěj Cepl 2007-01-26 15:12:28 UTC
Reporter, could you please reproduce this problem with either final FC5 or
(preferably) FC6? Thanks.

Comment 3 Jim McElwaine 2007-01-26 15:14:17 UTC
works fine in FC6
