Well, then i must just be lucky, because I didn't need to go through any
of that ordeal.  All I had to do was upgrade to the last glibc release
(late yesterday) and the problems created by the former (from early
yesterday) were solved.  Granted, I'm using my own 2.4.22-xfs kernel, and
not Redhat's, so perhaps that is why i'm not as plagued by this fiasco as
others.
