Fedora-Development.
In an excess of zeal yesterday I upgraded some packages from the
development set and now various programs report "buffer overflow detected"
and like messages, and abort. These programs include bash and my usual
mail reader. I've reverted my glibc to 2.3.4 from fedora-updates and
things are a bit better but not totally fixed, so I figure I've still
got some more packages to locate and revert:-(
Umm, it sounds like you tried to install FC4 packages onto FC3. DO NOT
DO THAT. That is totally unsupported and very likely the reason for
things exploding.
