Indeed it did!  Thanks for the heads-up.  I'm all set now.

Thanks.  I had Googled the issue but had not found that particular Steam
Community discussion about it.  I am hesitant to upgrade libc because
everything else on the box is running fine, so I guess I'll just wait until
there is either a patched library which can be installed locally for FoF
(like the libm.so.6 solution before), or I have time to do a full OS
upgrade on the box.
