I made a test package for the user, based on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516309
and backported patch

User confirms the patched package corrects the
problem.
Comment 1 Pavel Raiskup 2015-11-20 16:31:32 UTC 
RHEL5 is in product phase when we can't expect any future updates other than
really important security fixes.  I would suggest our customers to move
to RHEL7 or at least RHEL6.
