It also occurs on our several R4000 Indigos with Entry graphics, at least when
I "rup" them.  Same error.

While not a critical problem for this purpose, I suppose that rstatd
being broken might break something else, or be part of a larger
problem....  I'd like to see a fix for this sooner than "the next major
release" (I've been seeing that as the time for fixes for years now
:-)).

BTW: When IS "the next major release"?
