Oops.  I made a change to the host requirements section to require 2.6.18 or 
later, but never updated the glibc instruction.  The option should be

--enable-kernel=2.6.18

In both chapter 5 and 6.  If you have time, I'd be interested if the test runs 
OK for you when using that switch.

Additionally, the behavior  you describe did not occur in our test build.  Are 
you deviating from the book in any way?
