Interesting that it breaks so much. The CodeWeavers email alerting users that the Red Hat glibc errata breaks wine mentioned that CodeWeavers is trying to persuade Red Hat to issue a glibc errata that fixes the security problems but doesn't go from 2.2 to 2.3, hence not also breaking wine and everything else. Keep a look out for that... Raul Edward S.
