Hi,

I recently upgraded my system to CentOS 4.6 and noticed that gettext
does not behave as before the update. As soon as I install the old glibc
version (glibc-2.3.4-2.36) instead of the new one (glibc-2.3.4-2.39) it
works again.

See the Attachment for details.

Any hints would be appreciated!

Thank you,
Christoph
