I thought I had seen that but I figured that I'd leave it for people that track that much closer. I know what's going on with IPC, and I'm guessing the DBM test is failing because of a bug in the libc. So, what's going on with IPC?

So, what's going on with IPC? IPC until very recently was completely hosed on powerpc. We have hopes that a new set of compiler and libc will resolve the issue - expect progress reports in the next few days :) Dan

As a general aside, if you want an account to test something, tervola (powerpc.debian.org) is already available, and my machine here at CMU will be providing developer accounts in a few days (soon as my nine gig drive gets here and I have room for the lot of you :) Dan
