Hi Lenz,
Is the glibc that comes with version 6.0 going to be
version 2.06? I hope so.

There seems to be alot of confusion. There seems to be
a glibc1, and a glibc2, and the current version of glibc2 is 2.06.

I know that you guys do the right thing, but there are so many
people complaining about these library incompatibilities.
