Would it be worth waiting to have the RHEL6/FIPS stuff looked at - at least to 
the point of deciding if the issue should involve fixes to both TC and TCN or 
be limited to TCN only?    I posted Monday and earlier today about it.  
I believe the minimal patch to resolve the issue would involve TCN only however.
