Indeed. Not to accuse the author, but the occasional bag on Cyrix chips
I see on this list is always the wrong answer and appears only to serve
potential hysteria (e.g. your RPM won't install you say? Are you using a
Cyrix chip?). Glint has a bug that IIRC makes it go kooky if it is
scanning a directory that contains other directories, and as far as I know
Red Hat has not repaired it.
