My Linksys WRT54GS running OpenWRT has been faultless, however, it was running an old release (White Russian) and needed upgrading for a newer kernel with proper IPV6 support.
Rather than gleefully upgrading and risking breaking my housenet's ability to see the internet, I decided to proceed cautiously, and buy a new router, with a view to setting it up as a new shiny drop-in replacement. A good opportunity to upgrade hardware for, amongst other things, N wireless. After searching for recommends, settled on the Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH, and placed an order with Amazon.

hey kids! so i hit an error that i couldn't google ( hence this article... ) whilst migrating a debian cyrus-imapd mail service from an old sluggish box running 'sarge' to a new shiny box running 'lenny'...
why lenny? as is somewhat usual with debian, to get support in the packaged kernel for new SATA controllers...
the setup is cyrus-imapd-2.2, exim4, sasl auth, etc all from lenny debs... here is the error:

switched exim to use lmtpunix socket instead (just in case)...
cyrus/lmtpunix[PID]: FATAL: Internal error: assertion failed:
duplicate.c: 146: (len == sizeof(time_t)) || (len == sizeof(time_t) + sizeof(unsigned long))
hmm.

new radiant powered site
I don’t really blog, but radiant has blog-foo built-in, so I thought I would include it and see if it tempts me into sharing thoughts with a bizarre subsection of the internet using public. I am currently doubting it :)
