-** Emacs crashes on startup after a glibc upgrade.
-
-This is caused by a binary incompatible change to the malloc
-implementation in glibc 2.5.90-22.  As a result, Emacs binaries built
-using prior versions of glibc crash when run under 2.5.90-22.
-
-This problem was first seen in pre-release versions of Fedora 7, and
-may be fixed in the final Fedora 7 release.  To stop the crash from
-happening, first try upgrading to the newest version of glibc; if this
-does not work, rebuild Emacs with the same version of glibc that you
-will run it under.  For details, see
