No idea - I've been away for the last week, and thanks to the extensive
discussions on linux-arch and the private threads, I've now got literally
hundreds of emails to work through.

Plus I'm rather tired today, thanks to power cuts setting off peoples
burgular alarms during last night. And I'm probably not around much
tomorrow nor Wednesday...

You get the picture - probably about a week or so before I can even get
around to thinking about testing this (or indeed much else.)
