Hrm. It appears kernels just don't like me.
The 'default' RedHat kernels for 7.0, 6.2, and 6.1 all lead to random segfaults and sig11s on my BP6. 2.4.0-test5 leads to random sig11s. 2.4.0-test8 and beyond all work cleanly. I don't even get odd APIC errors anymore. Weird.

Had fun trying out redhat's "preview" version of glibc. It apparently has some broken things (like, ohhh, locale support for example) so I wound up rolling back to the 'normal' version they include with 7.0. Made a nice shiny Bugzilla entry for the RedHat folks too. Oooh, ahh.

Friday was the last day for a bunch of people at Kiva. It's sad to see them go, as I'll miss most of them terribly. It'll take a while to get used to not having them around (and to get used to the organizational changes that are happening as a result).

Need to get around to hacking some more on logwatchd. Making it into a nicely scalable log multiplexor looks to be a fun learning experience.
