No it's not. It's a SO problem. It relies on features in glibc-2.0.7 which are not present in glibc-2.1. The glibc boys ('n gals) assures me that if they did not do that, *and* did it right, there would not have been any problems installing SO on a glibc-2.1 system. And as such, SO developers _are_ a bunch of lamers. The majority of glibc binaries don't have such problems because they don't go right into the glibc internals.

Nice idea but impracticable for a suite as large as SO. Fuck it, I'm getting Applixware 4.4.1 to try out.
