Has anybody installed the following updates? Any issues with them?
By the way, best compliment to the cobalt team :(( it took only three months to release an update for glibc; how long will we have to wait for an update of zlib?

They had an updated, "unsupported" rpm for that.
So you might want to have a look from time to time at ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com:21/pub/unsupported/raq4/rpms or ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com:21/pub/unsupported/raq3/rpms
