(I'm not seeing Graham's post for some reason; had to look it up in
Google Groups.)

Thanks for the tip about linux-headers. I wasn't even aware of the that
package (I thought glibc uses the headers from gentoo-sources).

Off-topic question: is it important to keep linux-headers in sync with
gentoo-sources? linux-headers is at 2.6.23-r3 here while gentoo-sources
is at 2.6.24-r8.
