[parisc-linux] (Round 2) hppa glibc 2.3.2-9 available for the brave testers (Round 2)!

[Carlos O'Donell <carlos@baldric.uwo.ca>]

debian-hppa, 
parisc-linux,

New testing deb's can be found at:

ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/unofficial-debs/glibc_2.3.2-9_2003-10-20/

They fix the following problems encountered by testers:

- Six argument cancellable syscalls don't crash your program anymore.
- Calling feraiseexcept with FE_INEXACT raises the correct exception and
  flag bits.

Cheers,
Carlos.
