I believe that if something is really a bug which affects everybody
then we should fix it at the level of common base/common contrib area
rather than leave the fix to diverge between different Scientific Linux
sites ... (but then of course such fix shall try to minimize possible
side-effects on people who want to stay as close as possible to RHEL3)

The example bug mentioned in this thread can be fixed (I think)
without breaking any RH compatibility.
