i want to sound a warning though - i actually should have sent this message much earlier but i havnt checked ny mail for a few days; anyway i've tried with glibc 2.3.2 from slackware 9.1 and while most programs work, i found out that my abiword always gave a "segmentation fault error", perhaps this will not be the case with 2.3.1 but it pays to be careful; anyway if that happens you could always use busybox to relink your files to the previous libs
