I forgot to add that Zack Weinberg works on a fix for the sigstack
problem (at least he said so a month ago). I can forward the

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)
