Hmm, can somebody explain what the patch 1300 problem is? I have built
my own 2.4.20-20.7.XFS1.3.0 and 2.4.20-20.9.XFS1.3.0 rpms and I'm using
the 20.7 version on RedHat 7.2 without any problem. Did I miss
something? Is there a problem when using in on RedHat 9? Of course 20.9
has the nptl patches so should I expect any problems which are not
present in 20.7?
