Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, grog@lemis.de

I'm starting to think that this may be due to some changes Peter Wemm
made to the RPC library a short while back (maybe ten days -- not exactly
sure, but it sounds about right). Either that or somebody frobbed some
headers somewhere that broke the library.

I assume you rebuilt the world and not just selected parts of the system,
correct?

It's most likely something in the RPC library in libc, not in the programs.
Rrrrr.... excuse me while I go fill up the gas tank on my LART.
