4.76.22

[Julian Field]

Yes, agreed. The difference between RedHat and CentOS here is that when 
you "yum update" a RedHat 5.2 box you don't end up with a RedHat 5.3 
box, you end up with a fully patched RedHat 5.2 box. I'm used to using 
RedHat and not CentOS, and didn't appreciate there was this difference 
in how they handle "yum update" instructions.

My bad.
