We have couple of other glibc bugs we are chasing now and I think this bug is relatively rare, so we will probably wait until we accumulate more fixes before releasing an update - I estimate it will happen within the first half of January.
breaking telnet and (many?) other host lockups for systems using NIS (with host aliases, so I'guess almost every network using NIS;) is not "relatively rare" for "real" installations, it's only rare on home PCs and very small networks... (not to speak about the potential image loss for companies waiting/testing towards SLES11;^) I really advocate to release a glibc update ASAP! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
