GNU C Library bugfix update

This errata fixes several bugs that have been discovered in glibc.
Also, some optimizations have been added, including iconv cache and
symbol lookup cache.

2001-10-22: Packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 7.2. The following
bugs are fixed in the updates for Red Hat Linux 7.2:
43742 53394 53494 53984
All other bugs listed for this errata are not applicable to Red Hat Linux 7.2.

See the listed bug numbers or run rpm -qp --changelog glibc-2.2.4*.rpm
for details.

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains
the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this to be an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat
Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
