This is typical 100% Redhat.  And this is why RH is simply NOT ready
for the enterprise.  They do this ALL the time.  It's nice to see
an organization like codeweaver's step up and point out the error.
However, if you're running RH, they've been doing minor and major
upgrades to your software with every up2date that you do (kinda
scary aint it?).
