Never mind, I just checked and Sid is also running 2.13. Apparently I'd have to use ANOTHER DISTRO to get a glibc less than 18 months old. Really? Developers: really? I gauess the only way to get an answer to the above rhetorical question would be to file a bug against glibc--that's how to reach the glibc team, right? -- Carl Fink nitpick...@nitpicking.com Read my blog at blog.nitpicking.com.
