Jindrich,

We're going to need new packages rolled for RHSA-2005:026 to include this issue.

Comment 2 Josh Bressers 2005-01-14 12:16:41 UTC
The patch URL does not yet work.  We don't have a patch from upstream yet.  I'll
update the bugs as soon as I know.

Comment 3 Mark J. Cox 2005-01-19 10:23:41 UTC
Now public, see URL for patch, removing embargo

Comment 4 Jindrich Novy 2005-01-19 10:37:38 UTC
Mark, I have applied my own patch that also fixes the issue. Please let me know
if you're not happy with it.
