hello,
Thanks for your response,
i checked the version of glibc and you are right
i have version glibc-2.2.93-5

the latest beta of rh has a glibc of
glibc-2.3.1-36

what should i do now
1. is this a bug i need to inform someone else about?
   how should i go about it.
2. should i download the rpm for the latest beta of rh and
   install that on my system?
3. Should i do nothing and just wait for rh8.1 ?

it isnt a big deal and i have imapfilter working,
i am just trying to provide feedback to improve the linux experience

thanks again
