Eh, it might be more involved. Look at the last posting from Jakub Jelinek in the URL above: "Ulrich meant glibc CVS HEAD." Makes sense: NPTL is split between the kernel and glibc. Jakub is, IIRC, the glibc maintainer at Red Hat. The posting is from Nov 5, the latest glibc erratum is from Nov 13, https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-325.html It is not clear from the description if this includes the locking patch. I don't know how dangerous it is to upgrade glibc on RH9 to Fedora's version. I would not do it on a mission-critical machine. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
