The fact that an older version of SILO works does not actually mean the
problem is in SILO. SILO writes to memory, kernel reads from that
memory. Either part can be buggy, and both have in the past.
If people want this fixed, they need to get a box that's breaking in
front of one of those of us who can debug this sort of failure or debug
it themselves.
