It's a tricky one to fix. I sent a fix to EGLIBC a month ago, but then found the same problem exists in binutils, gcc, and gdb and pretty much anything else sourceware based.

I quite like the Debian style: 1.1.13+hg12345. -- Michael -- For unsubscribe information see http://sourceware.org/lists.html#faq
