I want to thank Eliot for this info. A new version pulled from the
Incoming directory did cure the problem. I'd like to encourage RedHat to
pick this up as a standard part of its distribution.
One catch in going from the 3.4 to the 3.5 release. The name of the RPM is
different, so I had to erase (uninstall) the old before installing the
new. Also, the new package lacks an entry in /etc/rc.d/init.d and such.
I've added it to my rc.local for now...
