You will all be pleased to know that I had a lot of problems installing
the Intrepid alpha 4 (e.g. bug 260001), but I finally succeeded.

My Intrepid system has successfully printed several large files, so I am
satisfied that my specific problem has been fixed.

However, until I have taken and analysed several wireshark traces, I
will not be able to confirm the bug is completely fixed. I intend to do
that work soon, using the patched Hardy kernel that Stefan has prepared.
