Matt, Thanks for the information. I've found Red Hat often slow and difficult to get an answer from. I'll check the differences between the rhel4 and rhel5 versions in the SRPMs. I'll also check the bug tracking. I have found one issue I thought was probably just a change in behavior that was reported as a bug.
