The kernel jammed at boot and gave this message before:

/--/ snip /--/
copy_files: pid 4, open files 64 exceeds max 32 !
/--/ snip /--/

I looked at the numbers and thought that it could have something to do
with the fact that on Alpha sizeof(long) = 2*sizeof(long_on_i386).

got the machine to boot (and at least seem to work right) by changing the
sizeof(long) to sizeof(int) in fork.c in __copy_fdset with some ifdefs,
but I guess there is a more right way to fix this ?
