Yes, familiar result, although I get 0x0000...
... but then I have compiled my MILO locally (At OSF/1)

I have just been compiling linux-1.3.70 with milo-1.3.69,
and will tomorrow see, if I succeeded. (now at home..)

Mr. Ka'plaagh didn't believe it at first, and when he
runs his MILO at his XL, all work well... :-/
