Even though we acknowledge this issue, RHEL5 is at very late stage of its development cycle.

Taking that into consideration, I'm closing the bug as WONTFIX. The fix for this bug would take quite some time and it would have a potential to break things, which is not acceptable at this late stage of development cycle.

If you experience the same problem in later versions of RHEL, feel free to clone this bug for them.
