I'm guessing that it's specific to Alpha (and maybe glibc) but not any
particular Linux distro.  So let's try Gentoo first, and then Martin can
check if the fix works for Debian.

If you could set me up a shell account accessible by ssh, I should have
time to poke at this tomorrow.  I don't need root access but will need
all the usual C development tools (gcc, gdb, etc).

Thanks for helping!
