I should mention that lebrun.d.o is still dead since the last attempt
(ssh unresponsive since 2007-08-30 ~21:25), when it was running a 2.6.22.5
with one davem patch applied (one line in kernel/futex_compat.c). If you
need something more done to lebrun, such as kicking it back to life,
just tell me...
