I don't mean to be a party pooper, but... It must be a header file some
place.  I'm just courious as to what the difference is.  Anybody know?

After installing 2.0.7 from Cristian, I went back an installed the
2.0.5 header files, recompiled, and sure enough, it bombed with the 60
sec thing.  Now, that's a 2.0.7 glibc with 2.0.5 header files.

I ran a diff on the header files, and there is only a modest amount of
changes.  I was looking at this when low and behold, my wife went into
labor!  (I was waiting for this before posting my bio :).

This seems simple enough for me.  I'd like to figure it out, but I'm
Mr. Mom with a 2 year old for awhile.
