Have you got a listing of the ebuilds of what you have installed on your |
| 42 |
rc4 installed? If it were my server, I would start with a rev by rev |
| 43 |
comparison of each ebuild. There was probably at least a glibc upgrade |
| 44 |
during that time frame, and all sorts of other library issues. |
