Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2005-239
2005-03-20
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product     : Fedora Core 3
Name        : glibc
Version     : 2.3.4                      
Release     : 2.fc3.5                  
Summary     : The GNU libc libraries.
Description :
The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by
multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and
memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is
kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package
contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C
library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a
Linux system will not function.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

The last attempt to fix dlclose caused several regressions, so the
rpms here contain a different fix.  It is in very tricky code,
so I'd appreciate as much testing as possible, especially with
applications that use dlopen/dlclose a lot with lots of libraries
with complicated dependencies.  Thanks.
