... trying to remember back to last Spring. I remember this problem. If
you go to the RedHat web site and install the patches, the problem goes
away. Actually, to fix YOUR PARTICULAR PROBLEM you need only install the
glint upgrade, but you really should install all of them. There are a
number of security issues and other important things that they fix.
