Was that update-glibc-first thing really necessary? I did see the update 
announcement, but long after I actually issued a simple "yum update" on my 
server, and everything went smoothly. I did not see any problem.

So was updating glibc separately just a precaution measure, or was I just 
lucky not to run into issues?

P.S. Sorry to jump in the thread...

Best, :-)
