Sorry for the delay. Our main machine, 'muta', has been suffering instability for a while. It ended up also having bad RAM and failing disks. We've now replaced them last night. We had a lot of kernel crashes since then but after upgrading to 6.10.11, everything seems okay so far. Fingers crossed, and then I can get back to the other bits (like testing the binutils patch).
