CentOS 6 update 6 is several releases behind, you are missing about 18 
months of security and bug fixes....   6.9 is current

what version kernel and glibc are you running?

glibc-2.12-1.209, kernel-2.6.32-696.3.2 are the latest for CentOS 6

doing partial OS upgrades, where you update only some system components 
takes you into uncharted territory, as only the complete latest set of 
system packages is tested together, mixing newer system packages with 
older components is risky and unsupported.
