RedHat has put out an update to its glibc package (see
http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2000-057-04.html). This
package fixes a few problems that glibc-2.1.3-19 had. From the advisory
page:

     The previous version of the 6.x errata introduced some threading
     problems visible with JDK and Mozilla, the 5.x errata had a bug which
     caused several localized programs to die with segmentation fault
     at startup.Both of these problems are fixed with this errata update.

I have built Immunix (StackGuard) packages and made them available on
the immunix.org website. They're available in:

http://www.immunix.org:8080/ImmunixOS/6.2/updates/SRPMS/glibc-2.1.3-21_StackGuard.src.rpm

or

	glibc-devel-2.1.3-21_StackGuard.i386.rpm
	glibc-profile-2.1.3-21_StackGuard.i386.rpm
