I gave this patch a try for a while, and it seems working fine so far.
Maybe it is too close to 1.30, though?
Heh, I just hit this bug *again* minutes ago (because I've got a new
laptop which didn't have the libvirt-whatever-network package
installed).
I _do_ think we should include this in 1.40.
I'm going to try to do 1.40 today. There are still a few bugs in
check-slow, but nothing too serious and I've fixed a lot of them
already and I don't want to wait any longer.
Rich.
