I wasn't very clear.  I didn't mean to imply your Linux was suitable
for testing the 64-bit huge queue version, just that we didn't have
access to any 64-bit Linux to test on yet.  I'm not even sure whether
a 64-bit Linux is currently available, though HP has said they will
release Linux for IA-64 (the Intel 64-bit architecture, formerly
Merced, lately "Itanium") shortly, if they haven't already.

That's good to know.  Hopefully 5.1.2 will be as good or better ...

Oops, I should look at those subject lines before sending :-)
