I am seeing email messages appear in root's local mailbox of the form:

What is this attempting to tell me?
What do I have to do to remedy?

It looks like others have had this same issue:

The solution was:

Post # 13 from that thread-

Downgrading glibc to the version of the Main repository solved my problems.

Thank you for your quick response.

It is comforting that this error does not appear to be related to something (bad) that I did -- other than trying to remain current on the patches from RHEL.

With this insight, one might also assume that it the reason that /var/log/httpd/error_log gets two "sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_EN)" messages posted for every click of "Views -> Tactical Overview".

I am hoping that both types of error messages can be ignored and that they are causing no harm under the covers. I am also hoping that a corrective fix eventually comes out, since "downgrading glib" may cause other problems.

For reference, I am currently running glibc-2.12-1.80.el6_3.7.x86_64 and glibc-2.12-1.80.el6_3.7.i686, installed on Jan 28.

Thanks,

Paul,

This is a bug related to our Internationalization efforts that we are still trying to track down the exact cause, but other than some logging, it is not having affects under the covers...
