Excerpts from Pádraig Brady's message of Tue Mar 08 04:28:24 -0500 2011:

Hi Pádraig,

Thanks for the quick reply and apologies for my slow response.

It is able to read the list, but it then proceeds to behave very
differently compared to the i386 version.  I've attached truss output
from the two boxes.  Hopefully it's of use.

Thanks
-Ben
