i run 9vx occasionally.  a while back i built 9vx from ron's
repository.  i was having problems with it under Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64,
where sometimes both cores were pegged at 100%; it was a problem with
linux (judging by ubuntu mailing lists). without changing 9vx, things
got stable after 10.10 (currently on 11.10). so, when in doubt,
suspect the host os.

% ls -l `{whatis 9vx}--rwxr-xr-x M 0 root root 5409005 Apr =A09 =A02011
