Further to that, I've since seen that there's a RHEL3 (yes, we are
still on RHEL 3) RPM for Condor 7.0.5.

Is that likely to do the trick with regard to the issues we have with
the 6.8 series, in terms of upgrading teh master through what can be
seen as a "supported" package, or should I be looking to go to 7.4
anyway, even if I build from source for now.
