Comment 3 Peter Jones 2008-01-31 23:09:51 UTC

I'm fine with fixing this if a patch is supplied, but this isn't something to
which we're going to devote engineering time, especially for 5.2 .

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2008-01-31 23:25:19 UTC

Development Management has reviewed and declined this request.  You may appeal
this decision by reopening this request.
