We had a compiling problem on the SL4 x86_64 rpms.  The compiling problem 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-1.5.0.12-16.el4.sl.src.rpm
        i386:
thunderbird-1.5.0.12-16.el4.sl.i386.rpm
        x86_64:
thunderbird-1.5.0.12-16.el4.sl.x86_64.rpm
