Using beta.centos.org is the only way to update the beta distros ... we
don't push the beta tree to mirrors. We have the cost for
beta.centos.org sorted out {I think :)}, so there shouldn't be a problem
with getting updates from there.

thanks for the info ... is this issue causing major problems for you? I
would rather not push anything before the RC1 is released at this point
(soon after the RH EL4 official release). Also, we normally don't fix
items like this until they are fixed upstream.
If you need me to build it, point me to a bug entry that discusses which
version of the glibc SRPM to use and i'll build the SRPM and make it
downloadable from my personal website though.
