Sigh. I subscribe to _both_ lists and used the wrong one. Sorry!!!!

Thanks!  That info is not intuitively obvious to the casual observer :-)

Well, while I'm here ... what's the status of MP on Sparc64
(specifically on an Ultra 2)? 

The U2 (hmmm, sounds like a spook-agency spy plane) is soon to be my
"primary" machine and I'd like to get it off Debian Linux (sid) and on
to *BSD
(preferably NetBSD). Especially given the huge performance increase I've
seen on the Ultra 1 I use as the "back office" machine for my wife's
business after moving it to NetBSD 1.6!
