OK... so there *are* fixes that are not included in glibc 2.2.4?  Or
has 2.2.4 pulled them all in?  (Part of the problem here is that I'm
fairly sure the usagi-linux24 kit hasn't picked up glibc 2.2.4, so
that leaves me having to decide between "the bugs fixed in 2.2.4" and
"the bugs fixed by usagi"

I'm not too scared about breaking libc - the first time I did that
was on a SunOS3.2 system in 1983 or so... ;)

Looking at it now, it appears that the kit avoids touching libc itself, and
puts all the library changes into a libinet6 and then links programs against
that, is that correct?  If so, the glibc issue doesn't matter...

Hmm.. will have to roll my own kernel, I've got other patches on it as well. ;)

Looks like I'll need to wait for a kernel daily-snap patch that fixes the
one crash, then use that, build libinet6, and pick-and-choose the
applications we care about locally...

Is this list interested in how other applications NOT in the usagi kit do?
For instance, at our site, apache/sendmail/ssh are important - would you like
feedback on things like that?
