yum update killed ssh

Just a heads up.

I'm pretty sloppy about keeping track of updates, so I don't have the
details at hand, but the latest update of glibc from updates-testing
killed ssh and scp. I guess it happened this morning. Symptom was libc
reporting ssh freeing bad pointer. Yum downgrade glibc fixed the problem.

Regards,

John
