~~ Attention Partners - RHEL 5.4 Snapshot 5 Released! ~~

RHEL 5.4 Snapshot 5 is the FINAL snapshot to be release before RC. It has been 
released on partners.redhat.com. If you have already reported your test results, 
you can safely ignore this request. Otherwise, please notice that there should be 
a fix available now that addresses this particular issue. Please test and report 
back your results here, at your earliest convenience.

If you encounter any issues while testing Beta, please describe the 
issues you have encountered and set the bug into NEED_INFO. If you 
encounter new issues, please clone this bug to open a new issue and 
request it be reviewed for inclusion in RHEL 5.4 or a later update, if it 
is not of urgent severity. If it is urgent, escalate the issue to your partner manager as soon as possible. There is /very/ little time left to get additional code into 5.4 before GA.
