> RedHat has put out an update to its glibc package (see
> http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2000-057-04.html). This
> package fixes a few problems that glibc-2.1.3-19 had. From the advisory
> page:
>
>      The previous version of the 6.x errata introduced some threading
>      problems visible with JDK and Mozilla, the 5.x errata had a bug which
>      caused several localized programs to die with segmentation fault
>      at startup.Both of these problems are fixed with this errata update.
