Indeed - this is the problem I reported a little while ago (again with
sprime, since I don't have glibc 2.1 as yet). If v19 works faster, I might
as well use it even if I can't currently report results. My temporary
solution has been to grab 90 days' of work, switch the machines to run as
dialup hosts even if they aren't, and wait for someone else to fix it,
reporting via the web interface if necessary :-)
