[blarson@blars.org: Bug#323126: slate: ftbfs [sparc] Bus error]

[Brian Rice]

That's not really correct. There was an incomplete and therefore  
broken VM patch to the platform sources that I accidentally pushed  
onto the main repository which I then rolled back. It's NOT in 0.3.5  
(never was) and the latest slate-current tarball doesn't have it,  
either (now). I only mentioned it to you online because you reported  
a problem at about the same time.

I'll repeat for clarity: The problem I noticed only happened after  
the 0.3.5 release, and was only present in the repository for several  
hours. Any problem you're seeing for 0.3.5 is unknown and you will  
have to debug it yourself with GDB or whatever.
