I was using loop-AES with additional ciphers which worked reliably for the last few months.

I am currently testing gcc-3.3.1. The gcc in ShoeString is not very good anyway. I have compiled gcc-3.2 and glibc-2.2.x (as well as 2/3 of RH 8.0) which appeared to work remarkably well (with patches) but something got terribly screwed up just before I could made a release - the compiler no longer bootstrapped :( I can mail you a CD with many new packages which would be useful for development purposes only, I can't spend any time to create update or installation routines when a few essential packages are broken (gnome-2.x) or have strange quirks (rpm-4.x) Anyway even 3.2 has this problem so I am currently testing gcc-3.3.1.
