I think you are confusing 5.2.18 and 5.3.12. Here's the rundown:
- 5.2.18 is an older, but still widely used, libc.
- 5.3.12 is the latest release (i.e. "stable") libc.
- 5.4.4 is the latest beta/development libc.
Any solutions to the libc problem would definitely be appreciated :-)
Hope this helps,

We will be releasing a security fix for the mount problem as soon as
