[rescue] This Just In: HP to buy Compaq

[rescue at sunhelp.org]

Odd, I've run debian on (now) 5 archs across more systems and versions
than I care to think about, and have only run across that type of problem
in pre-alpha ports.  Even the Mips port (which isn't even official yet) is
working fine with everything I've thrown at it.
