Zoot zaps fax
After upgrading to RH 6.2 my Hylafax installation packed up. The problem seemed to be that when it was converting the PS file to tiff format, a faxq process went into a 90% CPU loop. Upgrading to the latest available Hylafax RPM did not help so I got the latest source and recompiled. The configure crapped-out testing for the right level of libtiff. With this hint, I backed-out the 6.2 libtiff RPMs and reinstalled the RPMs from the RH 6.0 distro. Then Hylafax started working again.
