Three, be to exact. :-)

Seems to be. But the -31 build made some trouble. Not only didn't it
prevent ntpd from segfaulting (on boot, later on I can restart the
service), I had a few applications that didn't like the exec shield
patch, e.g. the teamspeak linux server, which segfaults when started
with this build. But as far as I know this could easily be a problem of
the application, which is nice to know but doesn't help really.
