Remember this is Slackware 10 here I am talking about - Slackware 10.1 has 
been released since, that uses as stock udev 50.  Slackware current uses udev 
54.  Trouble is here also, GLIBC has been updated in latest Slackware[s], so 
there is no real upgrade path for Slack 10 users other than the whole 
caboodle - which breaks a lot if you have all the latest 'other stuff' built 
from source anyway.

I guess many users don't upgrade all the system like I do to find these 
problems.  This appears to be just a gotcha for old Slackware 10 users like 
me.  Sometimes you read stuff about doing an upgrade, and unless it pokes yer 
eye out with a big stick you miss it... so it is isn't a big deal as long as 
people know about it - it's an easy fix.
