I don't know about the above bug in particular, but I do know that the
libc5 version of communicator is miles more stable than the glibc version,
which apart from gnome is probably the most unstable software I've had on
my system. So why not include the libc5 version? Or is it preferable not to
include communicator at all? Just a thought...
