I will be installing fc2-test on another partition quite soon so I can
test again with my laptop under the latest environment using the tools
mentioned in the second thread on the fedora-test list. Sorry if I
piss anyone off for mentioning running on an old distribution and/or if
this off-topic. I hope this email will be useful to those who've yet
seen the issue and might see it pop up again.
There have been numerous IPV6 & resolver changes in the FC2 glibc, which
will never appear in the one provided with RHL9. For this reason, it's
not really valuable testing unless the problem is also reproducable
under the FC2 glibc. Upgrading the kernel alone will find lots of
little corner cases like this.
