Dunno.  Frankly, I think that if you want to get this working you should
debug it yourself.  That's just a pragmatic suggestion.

I sincerely doubt that anyone else is going to be interested in fixing
your problem for you.

The other alternative is to purchase a support contract with Red Hat and
pay for our professional services.  Otherwise, you'll have to live with
whatever free support Corinna and I are willing to give.

If someone submits a patch or has a specific question beyond "Here's an
strace log.  What's going on???" I'll respond to it with my usual
alacrity.
