Thank you for the confirmation, I have not had a chance to
file in the centos tracker yet, and hope to get it filed
tomorrow's business hours. Similarly I have not checked
upstream's tracker yet. If needee, I'll file there as well,
but I cannot imagine it will be deemed so critical as to pull
a fast fix.
The fix will not be unilaterally placed in 'updates' by the
CentOS team; we will note issue [ahh, I need to edit the
online release notes -- good thing the wiki page reminds users
to check back from time to time]
The takeaway is to use the process I outlined, and all should
be fine. There are some more complex ways to do it by
tracking down and clearing all processes reaching into /home
and holding flies, but not worth the geek points being able to
explain it confer.
