I look forward to testing this when you think it's ready. As well as the
kernel, I discovered several other packages which behave oddly and/or
crash when compiled 64bit with 4.2, but seem just fine with 4.1. (My
custom server distro is pure 64bit for simplicity sake (only 1 version
of libs etc etc), so I'm probably the only one to have noticed).
