Apparently the lastest update to glibc breaks posix-threads for any 
"non-redhat" kernels.  Oy vey is mer.

I have the .7 versions that came out today, but since my RPM binaries do 
not work (they all report "unable to join environment") I'm a bit stuck 
about what to do.

Sorry if this whole topic was covered in the fedora thread.  I grepped for 
it via the archives but couldn't find it, at least not using "thread" 
which I thought was unique to the problem.
