That, and because my Googling of the CVEs +RHEL5 led me to those links.

There is only so much R'ing of TFM I have time to do :-)  I am glad that
those issues are indicated as being OK for RHEL5.  There were several
other issues that I looked up, and each had links to the RH errata that
I could use to support my case that the findings were not, in fact,
findings.  So, my due diligence found solid answers in several cases,a
nd inconclusive answers in four others.
