This has nothing to do with this. There are program with need the correct functionality. These programs are correct and they cannot run because of the bug. This is just like any other bug fix. If somebody depends on the bug he wrote broken code. It simply hasn't shown up until now. It is not correct to hide these kind of things. These people might recompile the application and expect it to work but it won't. The versioning handling is not to keep bugs alive. If you have some program programs either fix them or have a simple preloadable module which the user selectively can preload for some program applications. -- ---------------. drepper at gnu.org ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Cygnus Solutions `--' drepper at cygnus.com `------------------------
