Okay, I can find them fast via google but I looked two minutes at http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/errata/ and could not find detailed informations. I suppose a normal book author would get disappointed at this point, too, and proceed without further investigation. The whole section IMHO misses links to some background information -- as its now it looks a bit "We say so, trust us". Ohhh, boy, seems I need to fix this myself. Later.
