I am typing this message on a an Alpha machine, Miata (LX164-like),
576 MB of ram, kernel 2.1.131 UP, compiled with gcc-2.8.1 and
binutils 2.9.1. Seems to work for me. 2.1.130 locked(*) when I tried to
make a 430 MB tar archive, 2.1.131 did it just fine.

(*) The machine was still up, but the every disk access was leading to
eternel blocking. Sounds like a disk buffer endless loop somewhere.
