I'll chime in here, just because I feel strongly about this. RH9 broke so 
many things it was a disgrace. As near as I can tell, NPTL wasn't even
integration tested, what with the number of apps that broke. Really, it's 
*still* broken, so much so that I've got LD_ASSUME_KERNEL sprinkled all over
the place, at least on the boxes that haven't been taken back to RH8.
