This bug does not affect me any longer
This bug is a disaster. People can no longer user their java-based netbanks. I got a mail from a complete stranger who had already downgraded to RH7.3 again. He thanked me for the pointer to this bug, with the link to a glibc version that acclaimedly works. Other instances of this bug are bug 75334 and bug 75221. notting keeps resolving this grim crasher as "NOTABUG". Shouldn't an errata be made instead? NOTHING in the release-notes tell about this disaster. It is only mentioned that Netscape is no longer included. Is my Java based banking on RedHat now dependant on one private developer's glibc fix? Or are users recommended to change bank?
I can access my nettbank with the glibc fix from ftp://people.redhat.com/jakub/glibc/2.3.1-2/. I think Redhat should add thesse new glibc 2.3.1 as errata for Redhat Linux 8.0
We are of course planning to release this as errata for 8.0 after it passes through QA.

Can i safely upgrade from your ftp://people.redhat.com/jakub/glibc/2.3.1-2/ to the errata, and expect that java in Netscape 4.79 still works?
