This depends on the time frame we have for glibc 2.1.3 and for 2.2.  I
don't think we should wait another 6 months or more until the 32bit
UID support goes in.

What you imply is that the patches are not sufficiently tested.  AFAIK
the have been tested by Chris who developed them but haven't had
widespread testing.  If they go in, we should consider releasing a
2.1.3pre2.
