How could I go about duplicating this?? Having multiple RedHat systems
available (both of the 2.2 and 2.0 variety), I'd be glad to test it
here. I'm pulling a cvs update as I write this. If possible, I'd like
to duplicate it exactly.

Also, from prior discussions with Thomas, there is a RedHat 6.0 machine
at hub.org for testing purposes.
