Yeah.  I'll try that.  Thanks for the suggestion.

I've also apt got kernel-image-2.4.27, but the reboot will have to till I'm 
actually physically present (for sure either the qlogic driver or udev will 
require manual intervention and a few boots to get straight).  : )

Interestingly enough, I got an email from Adrian Zaugg, and he ran the test 
with the following results:

0/0 = nan
1/0 = inf
9.99989e-321/2 = 4.99994e-321

Linux version 2.4.27-2-smp (root@elevator) (gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 
1:3.3.5-13)) #1 SMP Tue Nov 22 21:17:09 UTC 2005

gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)

cpu model               : EV56
cpu variation           : 7

It does look like things indeed used to work...  I'll send another email once 
I have a chance to boot an older kernel.

Thanks!  -T
