That's the good news.  It went in by magic on all my boxes and it's
clearly seeing things it didn't use to.  However, now I'm getting 
variations of this on all smp boxes running SLES8, SuSE 9.0 or 9.1 
(but not 8.2) at the end of a fou4s run:

  The running kernel (2.4.21-243-smp4G) is different from installed
  kernel (2.4.21-243). You must reboot your machine to make the kernel 
  update effective.

Something is broken in the kernel version comparison.  This is further
empaphised by this message on my only SuSE 9.0 smp box running 
2.4.21-243-smp (as opposed to 2.4.21-243-smp4G):

   The running kernel (2.4.21-243-smp) is different from installed kernel
   (2.4.21-243). You must reboot your machine to make the kernel update 
   effective.

Things seem to work, though, so it's no disaster.  I'll try and get
time to trace the problems later today if nobody beats me to it.
