Yep. It could be a glibc bug; I've heard that rh 5.0 was quite buggy in places (the early move to glibc caused a bit of instability; I was still clinging to a very mongrel slackware/rh/debian beast at the time, so I can't vouch for this first hand). The latest rh glibc is 2.0.7-19, and you can ftp it from ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.0/i386/glibc-2.0.7-19.rpm the devel and profile packages are there as well if you want those. You might want to check the errata page at www.redhat.com to see if the upgrade would break anything. As for the cause, the only thing I can think of is the additional sync's that were added for some braindead stdio implementations, but that's probably because it's the only change to guile io handling I can remember over the past few months, so I'm probably completely wrong. -- Greg
