[rt-users] Odd behavior... Repeated Login and Attachment Problems

[Roy El-Hames]

Well I've had rt-3.6.0 running happily on gentoo for a good few weeks 
till I decided to do update world, its then when few things started to 
break, I guess its one/possibly more of the recent ebuilds are broken or 
not compatible with RT .. I am guessing its either DBD or Apache-session.
