Yeah, I'm using the current RHEL5 based kernel and yeah, it has some issues.  It isn't the OS Template's fault
though... and this isn't the only OS Template that is affected by this bug.

The bug was reported by some Gentoo folks a while back... and we have been told it would be fixed in an upcoming
kernel update... but I believe they have had two kernel updates since that have left it out.

Over the holiday break there was even some bickering on the bug report.  Here's the bug report:

Yeah the problem is the utimens/futimens system calls.  The newer versions 
of Fedora use them and the 2.6.18 kernel doesn't support them.  I've updated 
my test and build environments to the 2.6.24 Development kernel.

Oops I guess I should have read the bug report first. :-)
