I had the same problem.  Turns out that the problem is a bad version of glint
in the 5.1 distribution.  To fix it you'll need to go to the RedHat website,
find the updates section and download (via ftp) the latest version of glint.
I can't remember the most current version available via the updates section of
the web site but downloading it and installing it will fix the problem.

There's a similar problem with BRU2000.  To fix that you'll need to go to the
BRU website FAQ support page (http://www.estinc.com/FAQ-2.html) and follow the
instructions to download a more recent version of glibc.

It's weird but everytime I upgrade to a more recent version of RedHat I always
end up doing a lot of tinkering to get the darn thing to work.  To be fair,
I've never had problems with the Linux kernel, it's been the packages that
give me grief.  I've never had ANY problems with Slackware, but then you don't
get the "easy" upgrade-ability you get with RedHat (not??).
