Hmm, well I've still not ruled out the possibility that I've done something stupid yet. Also I see that lionfish is running sarge, and I'm running etch.

Once I get time to recompile I'll try and find out a little more.

Would the mips specific code behave differently on different oses? My other qube is running netbsd4, I'd be interested to see what goes off on that, however I'ts my live email/web/everything server and I didn't want to upset it.
