On my Ubuntu Lucid install the magic statement in the case returns

/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6

So with the addition of

/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc*) � � � � � � � � � � � SVMLLP="/lib/tls/i686/cmov:/usr/lib";;

to the script, things seem OK: image booted, it updated, it passed the
UUID tests. I'm just running the full suite of tests now. Right, and
it didn't crash on playing that beep, which scared the __ out of me.
OK, the entire suite ran without crashing, which is great! Thanks,

Eliot!

I did have 18 failures and 38 errors, but that's the topic of a separate mail.
