We've not made any patches to 7.1 here.  I would have to consult with the 
Powers That Be before I could make such a major change.  The idea is that 
all machines on all sites that run Webspeed run it under the same 
conditions.  We have to be careful that we don't switch to an OS that our 
software suppliers will not support (although admittedly we could probably 
be running RH8.0 by now).

In any case I can't seem to duplicate the problem on the cvs server of a 
second, identical box.  Which would *suggest* that kernel/glibc versions 
aren't the problem.  Sorry.  I wish I could say something more certain.
