Yeah, must be.  I received it in the unicast copy, though.

Glenn, I owe you a bottle of something.  This patch not only fixes gdm,
but nautilus and [maybe] bonobo as well.  This crept in, and is only
applicable to -STABLE.  -CURRENT _should_ have libc_r linked in.

You know why I couldn't reproduce this?  For some reason, my gdm2 port
directory hasn't being updated with cvsup.  I just noticed I still had
2.4.1.3_2 installed.  In any event, I'll start cooking up some patches,
and hopefully we'll be good to go.  Thanks A LOT for catching this.

Joe
