I'm running RH5.0 at work, but have RH4.2 at home. I'm reluctant to
upgrade at home because I have _all_ Postgres releases from v1.0.9 to
current installed and I can fire them up for testing in less than a
minute. If I upgrade to the new glibc2, I might have trouble rebuilding
the old source trees. Anyway, will probably upgrade sometime in the next
few months, and then the reference platform will be glibc2-based.

If you are generating new "expected" files for glibc2 shouldn't they be
based on the current development tree? Or are you providing them as a
patch for v6.3.2 to be installed in /pub/patches??
