thank you for doing this.  your efforts have already saved me some
effort!

i did some unscientific comparisons between an i386 box and my opteron
and think i noticed a few more packages that are out of sync.

package    version on i386         version on x86-64
-------------------------------------------------------------------
net-snmp   net-snmp-5.1-2.1        net-snmp-5.0.9-2
kernel     kernel-2.4.22-1.2149    kernel-2.4.22-1.2135
glibc      glibc-2.3.2-101.4       glibc-2.3.2-101.1

is this data correct?  is it worth updating these packages?

the kernel package seems important, but i'm running 2.6.2-rc2 so i don't
care too much.

let me know what you think, and thanks again for the slocate update!
