Is this working in ALL the flavors of 1.6? In the specific flavor of 1.6 rolled up in AstLinux?
1.6 flavors seem to have quite a few warts, depending on if it is 1.6.0.x, 1.6.1x or 1.6.2x It seems that the developers have recovered some of their sanity for the future 1.8, and not have 3 more or less parallel tracks working.
