Huh? How can this be? My understanding is: When the patch level changes the library is not allowed to change 'majorly'. A binary that runs with 2.3.2 must run with 2.3.5: library upgrade is required to be transparent over the patch level. Multiple versions with distinct minor version numbers are distinct at run time and can co-exist.
