This is a known problem of glibc 2.6, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239344 for details. It's also been discussed on the Emacs-devel mailing-list in the last few days. Hopefully this issue will be sorted out in the final version of glibc 2.6 (the one that will come with the Fedora 7 release). I've cloned the bug to the libc6 package for reference. > FYI: I compiled my own emacs which worked fine, except when I downgraded to > glibc 2.5.

The shlibs version of libc6-dev in experimental seems to suggest that, at least. Regards, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
