There's a syscall in 2.1.x which is used instead. Therefore you won't
see the problems on 2.1.x kernels. But remember that we'll probably
release Debian/Sparc slink based on a 2.0.x kernel so we have to get
it right.

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
