Additional info:
Heh, yup... the bug is about nine years old if not even older. Fixed upstream now, but I doubt it qualifies as a regression as it outdates even RHEL 2.1 :)
Given how old the bug is and nobody else complaining... I dont think its worth the trouble fixing it in rhel-5 anymore. It's fixed in rhel-6 anyway.
