I can verify some PHP breakage (phpwiki's use of gdbm seems to do a number
on the glibc upgrade, while other dba_XX() backends seem to be unaffected;
rolling back fixes it). Search bugzilla.redhat.com for bugs filed against
glibc, and you'll see a few others (wine, Netscape Communicator).

That's the one. Most of my servers and desktops are fine with it, but I
have a webserver that has to have a working phpwiki using gdbm storage, and
I've had to roll that one back to glibc 2.2. Once RHL 9 comes out, I'll see
if I have the same problem there (since I've got at least one machine ready
to be my guinea pig for the release ;-).

(This is a call for help, btw: if anyone else is seeing this particular
issue, I would love a little help putting together a reproducable test case
that doesn't involve half the phpwiki source code, to help the RH folks
track this down a little faster. Time to start reading through the glibc
2.3 changelog...)
