We had a compiling problem on the SL4 x86_64 rpms.  It has been fixed and is 
working now.  Both the x86_64 and i386 rpm's have been rebuilt with the new 
name to keep consistency.
No code has been changed.  The rpm's were only recompiled.

SL 4.x

      SRPMS:
thunderbird-1.5.0.12-14.el4.sl.src.rpm
      i386:
thunderbird-1.5.0.12-14.el4.sl.i386.rpm
      x86_64:
thunderbird-1.5.0.12-14.el4.sl.x86_64.rpm
