Hello!

Please find an up-to-date dmesg log attached. It was created from a Linux 
3.8.8 kernel with these two patches applied:
-       for_each_node(node) {
+       for_each_online_node(node) {

-		return distance;
+		return ((a == b) ? LOCAL_DISTANCE : REMOTE_DISTANCE);

More information on the setup (incl. config and lspci) can be found in:
Subject: PROBLEM: Only 2 of 4 cores used on IBM Cell blades and no threads 
shown in spufs

How do I find out?

The only thing I noticed (and someone else, who has been contacting me about 
cellminer questions recently) is that there might be something weird going on 
with the network.
For example, on RHEL5 we had issues with NFS loosing connection to the server 
(the x86-64 server directly in the same rack).
And now me and the other guy notice that the connection to the Eligius bitcoin 
mining pool is a bit flakey - apparently not transmitting all our work.
But this might also be caused by bugs in cellminer or Ruby - and the RHEL5 
issue is very certainly not related, since now on Gentoo/Linux, with a current 
kernel, the problem is gone.
