The patch seems to be available since long -> http://sourceforge.net/p/sblim/bugs/2499/#eadb Could you please have a look?
Well, fixing this issue doesn't make much sense to me: 1) I wonder why sblim-sfcb is in EPEL, it's part of RHEL for longer time. Shouldn't it be removed from EPEL then? (I wasn't able to find it in Fedora packaging guidelines.) 2) low/low and it's resolved by using systemd in recent Fedora/RHEL releases. But okay, if you're interested...
sblim-sfcb-1.3.8-2.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/sblim-sfcb-1.3.8-2.el5

Yes, if the package is available via RHEL, it makes sense to retire it from EPEL repository. -> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life Please do retire it from EPEL. Thank you.
