Btw., you've got commit privs.  For a serious problem (and sysinstall
dumping core *is* serious), I think it's OK to commit even a
workaround only after some reasonable timeout, provided you clearly
mark it in the commit log that it's a workaround only.  This gives
those people who need it a working system again, and if someone
eventually pops up with a real fix later on, the workaround could
always be backed out again.
