Great! I hope the chages will also propagate to the upstream maintainer.

No, everything you did was correct.

Your system is amazingly stable! Please put it in a box and ship it my way :)
You are very lucky(?) to have such a stable Hurd setup. I wonder if it might
be related to the hardware, as I get holes with the same glibc, and my Hurd
is also very recent.
Did you compile a custom GNU Mach?

PIC libraries can be used to create shared libraries, either the full
package, or smaller libraries with only a subset of all symbols. Those
smaller libs can only execute a subset of all binaries, but are useful for
boot disks (I wrote a script which is in the bootfloppies package,
mklibs.sh, which automatically generates small libraries from PIC libs and a
set of executables.)

I still want this machine :)
("Luckily", Roland could reproduce this problem, so I know I am not
halluzinating.)
Thanks,
