Hello,

"quietly fixed?"  I'm not too sure I like the sound of that.  I'm
running 2.1.0-Release, installed off the January 1996 cdrom on 
several systems.  I'm installed all of the patches, etc., that were
available on ftp://freebsd.org/pub/CERT/patches, and I don't 
remember anything about this problem (apparently, obviously).

My question is:  Do I need to do something to my libc library?
As I understand it, 2.1R from the cd is not the same thing as 
2.1 -stable... or am I wrong?

thanks,

tom
