 Hmm, what about changes known to actually break something then?  Like 
with R6 here?  Those will undoubtedly cause someone a headache with 
bisection sometime in the future.  Are you sure your policy is the best 
possible?

 NB, I have benchmarked the update with my DECstation, however my Malta 
has not come up after a reboot last evening and neither it has after a few 
remote power cycles.  I have planned a visit in my lab next week anyway, 
so I'll see what has happened there; hopefully I'm able to bring the board 
back to life as I find it valuable for my purposes.  I had to replace the 
PSU it came with already a couple years back and the new one is supposedly 
high-quality, so I fear it's the board itself.

 Meanwhile I'll be able to give DECstation figures only.  I guess such 
limited results will suffice if I post the fix as an update rather than 
replacement.
