Ken, I can come over to SGI to check out the SNIA boxes to see
what's going on, but you'll have to talk to Kanoj or one of those
engineers to figure out what's up for changes.  I can't change
the kernel they are using without working with them.  As far as
I know, Simon's not there, but John still is, so maybe he can let
me in on what's going on so I can help out.  I'm copying him ...

I assume you're doing this through an L1?

BTW, Bruno might be working on the fixes for this.
