I've seen this too. We still need to develop on RHEL 3 systems, as do a number of others, and it would be great if a workaround for the 3.2.x bug could be found. Otherwise past experience says that a lot of people won't read the release notes and will run into this. If I have time, I'll try to isolate which file (better, which function) is being miscompiled.
