Why people always have to put problems on the back of eglibc? This is clearly not due to that, I can't find this code in Lenny's version nor in older versions. Do you have a pointer to the original commit? The only things I have been able to find is you submitting the patch on the upstream mailing list, but no trace of a commit. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 [email protected] http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
