I haven't had any i386 code around for a long while, so I will just
try it "as-is". Just need to fin ish moving tghe machine up to todays
-STABLE before applying the patchset (which involved hand fixing bce).

Then, all being well I shall "(the_winds)caution" to coin an old
C joke, and run this up on one of our production DNS servers to
see how it goes.

cheers,
