Re: system broken after upgrade to last hamm
My appologies for releasing this partial bug fix. My system doesn't have
/etc/ld.so.preload, so I didn't have any of the extreme problems that
others have had to suffer.
2.0.7r-5 is in Incoming and should be moved into the archives today. This
version fixes all instances of the LD_PRELOAD bug including the
/etc/ld.so.preload problem.
Hope this gets everyone out of trouble, and again, sorry for the
inconvenience.
