It was marked broken on a particular architecture, hence the genesis of this=
 thread.  I appreciate that diagnosis is difficult; perhaps Olli's suggestio=
n is helpful in isolating the issue.  I do not know how else to troubleshoot=
 since these pointyhat errors are not - AFAIK - reproducible by others, on e=
ither i386 or amd64 platforms.
