Ah, well, this code has been in parisc for ages ... since I started
using my PA box as a wireless router about two years ago.  My
recollection is that it claimed to probe something in low memory as its
first printout.  Let me reverse the patch and see what happens now (I
assume the code has been updated a bit since we first had to do this).
It will take a while; I have to bring down my home network to do it and
I won't be back home until Friday.
