Why the RH7 sources, instead of the latest RH6.2 sources? I thought it was
only the binary snapshots that haven't been made, since the Ximian packagers
ran out of disk space on that machine? Won't the RH7 sources have calls to
the GLIBC 2.2 libraries, that might not exist in the GLIBC 2.1 libs?

Let us (and me!) know. Maybe you can upload them somewhere that others can
get, until the packaging team gets the new disks, or the time to pacakge for
a different distribution.
