I guess that's my real question.  Are there any security issues that
they might cover w/ the most recent tar that RedHat might not have
incorporated into an updated rpm yet ?  Looking over the changelogs
for 1.2.5 - 1.2.6a, there's a bunch of bug fixes and updates.  I just
don't know if any of them are critical.
