Bug Description
Binary package hint: rstatd
We ran across the bug reported in Debian:
http://
on our Dapper i386 machines. Basically rstatd forks off way too many times and in our case caused resource allocation failures. It was not evident on our amd64 machines. I took the Debian patch and made new dapper packages and rstatd seems to work properly. I'll attach the patch fragment that fixes the problem.
