Hi y'all.
I sent Rebekah email about this problem, but don't know if she's had time to
receive it yet.
This particular bug is listed on RedHat's 5.0 Errata page, along with the
fix. (I had the exact URL when I mailed her, but don't have it right now.)
It's a quick fix; I've had NO sig 11's since I installed it.
