HI

I know for sure 6.5 does not work. I think 6.4 also did not work, because I
thought it was a hardware
issue at the time, and 6.5 came round before I got a machine up again, but
I did not write anything down.

I can't say which versions of ldomctl are involved, because there is no
"version" option, no version
in the man page, and help does not say which version it is. I can't think
of any other way to identify
the version.

I think it is safe to say 6.3 is good, 6.4 is bad, but if you really can't
spot the problem, I can test - but not until after
7th November.
