I've been bitten by this one yesterday.  Did the same thing.  I'm really 
not happy with Red Hat releasing more than 75 patches to RHEL 3 this 
close to the Christmas holidays...

I just hope my patched systems will be OK without me watching them 
closely over the next week or so.

Happy Holidays everybody and thanks again Julian for this fantastic 
software!!!  We owe you so much!

Denis
