  Sad to say, but its 1.85, its the "real" one but *old*. I have the 2.x
installed seperately (for sendmail mainly and a couple of others) but have
been looking into removing the 1.85 installed by glibc (2.0.6pre7 ?) and
reinstalling the 2.x in a standard location so all programs can find/use
it, just have to figure out now what is all using the old version :-(
