I could not reproduce this on a Redhat 5.2 system (+all updates) running 2.2.16, or recompiled on a newer system, so I guess this is an issue with libraries/headers. Nonetheless, I don't think this kind of broken behaviour should be supported. This won't work in other newer systems anymore either (e.g. FreeBSD 4.0). |
