Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2007-11-12 18:25:04 UTC
The patch in 323571 doesn't stop the crashes. Are we sure this is the correct
fixes? None of the cases listed there are actually resolved by that patch.

Comment 2 Tomas Hoger 2007-11-12 18:45:30 UTC
Tom, you're right.  Patch attached to bug #323571 was not correct.  Updated RHEL
packages were built with correct patch, which is now attached to #323571:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=323571#c15

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for spotting the problem.  (Pun with your
nick was not intended ;).
