I must have had a bad upgrade on one of the early 5.2 upgrades --- ifconfig
didn't understand the new /proc/net/dev format. I just tried it on a recent
5.2 running 2.1.131 and it worked.

Documentation/Changes is out of date, I think --- recent 2.1 and 2.0.36 both
support >128M swap areas, but mkswap won't have anything to do with them.

Usually reported as "tar is really slow" (on one of our boxes, it's
mentioned in /etc/motd as "tar is broken. use /root/atar" --- I recently
fixed nsswitch.conf on that box and changed the motd...).

(snurgle.org --- you're one of my HH D level nightmares, right? :-)
