Sadly, I don't have an SMP box so it's no help to me. I was wondering
whether it might be the source of Glen Baker's problems over on the
users list.

Heh ... My workstation/laptop died from the crummy human user (me) who
managed to upturn a scalding cup of coffee over it. (I really did
experience it in slow motion - even hearing my own voice saying
"N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o ...") Thankfully it's covered by Dell's complete
care warranty for laptops that includes accidental damage. Sadly Dell's
idea of next business day cover apparently means picking the machine up
the next day and (so far) taking three weeks to fix it - I was
originally expecting it back this week but it now seems it won't be, and
there is no update as yet on when it is coming back. Still, that does
mean more time spent on my adventures in xd-unstable on my borrowed
desktop ...

Best, Darren
