thanks

Hi Georg,

thanks for your bug report. It is a pretty good report even, but since I
have no powerpc machine availabe, I don't really know what to do, so I
tagged the bug as "help", hoping that someone can indeed help.

I also CCed the powerpc mailing list, maybe someone there can have a
look at it[1].

Thanks for using Debian and trying to use osdsh :-)

Joachim
