Well that's not good. But thanks for the heads up. I was working on a package
manager based on unionfs; I'll have to go back and rethink whether or not it's
worth the effort. Maybe aufs performs better. As for the glibc issue, I can try
restricting use of unionfs/aufs to 'make install'. It's only really needed for
that anyway.
Thanks,
Walter
