I believe that Vincent works for Red Hat, but I don't have an email for him.
Jeff,
Does Vincent work at Red Hat?
He does, which I believe Siddhesh has already confirmed as well as the
patch's original author. FWIW, if you hover over someone's name in the
RH bugzilla database, it'll show their email.
I'm not sure why this issue was never addressed in the master glibc
sources; it may have simply slipped through the cracks as I was coming
up to speed on the state of RH's glibc tree.
We've got two Red Hat Enterprise Linux updates in the pipeline right
now; I'm planning to have Patsy review all the bugs in each release and
flag those which might have fallen through the cracks in terms of
getting the fixes pushed upstream.
