update the repository. This message is technically accurate but misleading as the chance of corruption
is remote and there is no way to avoid it. The package SPEC file has been updated to include the
-W parameter when running cimmofl in the post install stage. The warning message is no longer
displayed.

1.207.1. RHBA-2010:0052: bug fix update
Note
This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as errata
RHBA-2010:0052
Updated util-linux packages that address a bug preventing fdisk from creating partitions starting
beyond 1 TB are now available.
The util-linux package contains a large variety of low-level system utilities that are necessary for a
Linux system to function. Among others, util-linux contains the fdisk partitioning tool.
The updated packages address the following problem:
* a signed int in fdisk's add_partition function meant fdisk was unable to create a partition if the new
partition's starting cylinder was beyond one terabyte. With this update, the pertinent value is now an
unsigned long and fdisk can create partitions with starting cylinders beyond 1 terabyte, as expected.

1.208.1. RHBA-2010:0272: bug fix and enhancement update
A Valgrind update that re-bases to upstream version 3.5.0, adds support for new Intel64/AMD64
instructions, and fixes several bugs is now available.
Valgrind is a tool to help you find memory-management problems in your programs. When a program
is run under Valgrind's supervision, all reads and writes of memory are checked, and calls to malloc/
new/free/delete are intercepted. As a result, Valgrind can detect a lot of problems that are otherwise
very hard to find/diagnose.
This update re-bases Valgrind to upstream version 3.5.0
enhancements and fixes including the following:
