Yup.

Yup. :-)
First, it's a new release. Second, it's a new Red Hat release. Third,
it's a new Red Hat .0 release. It is *going* to have problems that will
take some time to sort out. Don't jump on 9.0 unless you are feeling
adventurous, and then only on test systems.
I have been told that the big deal in 9.0 (and the reason for the major
version number jump) is NPTL (Native POSIX Thread Library) support. I guess
that breaks all sorts of things. YMMV.
