Tell him to run "uname -a" and see if the string "SMP" shows up. If it does, he's got an SMP build even if it is on a single processor. I would bet that there are a LOT of systems out there running SMP kernels just because it's Linus's default, currently, and most people don't bother to dig into the Makefile and comment it out. Heck! I forget about half the time...
