This is easy, there is a function call missing which won't cause an
error message unlike a missing function.  Don't ask me why - it just seems
the 64-bit SEAD port was never completly sent to me or so.  Anyway, I
just fixed this in the linux_2_4 CVS branch; as the result of merging
mips with mips64 this bug was magically dealt with in 2.6.
