- It also occurs on our several R4000 Indigos with Entry graphics, at least when
- I "rup" them. Same error.
-
- While not a critical problem for this purpose, I suppose that rstatd
- being broken might break something else, or be part of a larger
- problem.... I'd like to see a fix for this sooner than "the next major
- release" (I've been seeing that as the time for fixes for years now
- :-)).
-
- BTW: When IS "the next major release"?
