+Version 4.8.1

+BUGFIXES:
+* Fix the RHEL4 x86-64 related crash in logging introduced
+  in 4.8. This problem may probably occur on other Opteron
+  based platforms as well. Thanks to Mike Jackson
+  ( mjackson mightymerchant , com ) for report and helping
+  with the patch. This fix should also apply to 64-bit PPC
+  platforms as well.
