netdump 0.7.14-1 has this fix (and is the RHEL4-U3 errata version)
so the Version-Release number above should reflect the old (current)
version.

Comment 2 Dave Anderson 2006-01-17 17:10:10 UTC

I meant the RHEL3-U7 errata version...

Comment 3 Dave Anderson 2006-01-17 18:50:04 UTC

No I was right -- the "Steps to reproduce" incorrectly indicates RHEL3.
