Thanks Glenn! The server is a RHEL 4 box and 3.0.1 is apparently what Red
Hat approves for that version. The sysadmins generally don't run anything
until Red Hat releases it, but I guess I'll have to ask them to bend on
this. Where would you suggest they get an RPM for it? They REALLY don't
like running specially compiled packages- interferes with their mass
management model.
Are you thinking there is a specific fix that went in for this, or is this
more of a "nobody is seeing this in current versions, so we must have fixed
it somewhere along the line"?

We are already authoritative so that shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks again!
