Thanks for your extra effort.

Being a RNH subscriber and since most RH folks on this list have said 
bugzilla isn't the place to file trouble reports for RHEL products I've 
submitted a Web Support request on their support site.

When I get an answer to Service Request Number: 504276 I'll let the list 
know the answer.

Thanks again,
Ed
