Yep ... this just bit us and we just fixed it.

We'll see how long it delays us.  But we were sort of expecting this.
I have gotten pretty good at guessing when TUV will release a kernel 
errata.  They always do it on the day that we are going to release our 
RC 2.5 of whatever release the kernel will affect.
So, since we were going to try and get out the RC 2.5 of SL5 today, they 
released the kernel for 5 to delay us a few days.
