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...
