Thanks for the clone Hubert, however RHEL-5.10 (the next RHEL-5 minor release) is going to be the first production phase 2 [1] release of RHEL-5. I'm closing this bugzilla as WONTFIX because since phase 2 we'll be addressing only security or critical issues. This problem is not present in RHEL-6/7.
