Yes, bizzare is the word. In an effort to resolve this I've
upgraded to Redhat 7.1 to ensure that dependencies are correct on my

The error is 'Value to large for defined data type' which is an
EOVERFLOW error. You can see this in /usr/include/asm/error.h If I
had the source this knowledge might help me.
