   This was me actually.  I was rebuilding for i386_linux3 because the
binary there was making class HS queries for hesiod lookups, and losing
as a result.  It seems the linux3 binary was actually a symlink to the
linux2 binary.  Oops.  Fixed now by rebuilding for both platforms, and
I've released the volumes as well.  Considering we're getting ready to
desupport i386_linux2 machines at the end of this month though, it's
probably not too horrible that this was broken.
