    And, in case of people would ignore it, I have had to diagnose the problem
    by myself and I donnot have an Alpha machine, neither really know of the
    Alpha stuff, since the solution was very slow to come.
    The solution is known since almost a week, and I didn't see any official
    fix for it posted to the lists by the maintainers of the offending code.

    If the reason is that this bad changes in the pyxis_core stuff only affect
    the sym53c8xx devices and only on Alpha machines and thus guys think it is
    not important, then they just appear as not interesting people to me. I am
    wondering about what would have happened facing a bad change that affected
    also (or only) Adaptec devices on Intel platforms.
