OK, attached is my first cut at slimming down the boundary tests.
I have only had a chance to try it on i386, so I hate to drop it
on you like this - but I *have* put a bit of thought into it....
Treat it as an RFC, and I'll try to test it on a wider range of
things in the next couple of days.
Not that there is anything really nasty with your system David,
so I don't think it will be a big disaster if I can't get this to
work.
Goes on top of Hugh's 6 patches.
Runs on ia64. Looks much cleaner too.
