No kidding. IMHO, this is just plain wrong. :-) I added an "unstable" line to /etc/apt/sources.lst so that I could get support for Linux 2.5.xx kernel modules, which forced a glibc upgrade as well. Then I booted into 2.5.62 with oprofile hacked in. (using linuxppc-2.5 source)
Suddenly: 1. Some video corruption at the top of X goes away. (Rage 128 PF/PRO AGP 4x TMDS with Cinema display) 2. The gnome-spell + evolution bug goes away: 170922 147398 144415 Maybe CLONE_THREAD is being used? 3. My onboard Ethernet comes back from the dead. I have a Mac Cube; for a year now the built-in 100 Mb/s Ethernet has been all "00" in "lspci -x" and completely unable to work. Now it works. Note the Cc: to those bugs if you respond.
