 Actually, it turns out that the mailwrapper part of the PR is bogus
 (mailwrapper configuration error). Mailwrapper should have slightly
 better error handling, IMO.
 
 The xdvi/T1lib part however, is unaffected by using the proposed kernel
 version.
 
 The xdvi/T1lib part is also unaffected by starting xen with mem=3G, thus
 (hopefully) forcing it to only use and give out low memory.
