Okay.  That makes the loadable server work just as well (poorly) as the
debugging on on IA64, then.  This only affects some ATI cards, but there
are a limited number of IA-64 configurations in the world, and this
int10 problem seems to affect a lot of them.

The real fix, it seems, is to get 4.3.0 into sarge.

Thanks a lot for your efforts.
