I'm not sure if this is related, but Bertl has found that the
util-vserver packages in sarge don't work for most architectures.
The util-vserver syscall stuff seems to do a compile-time check if
the vserver syscall for a given architecture works, and if it does
not, it falls back to the _i386_ syscall number.

Bertl's tests also indicate that this problem still exists in sarge
for some architectures.

He has put together some of his tests at:
http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/Debian/

(the util-vserver* files)

If it turns out that this is not related we should probably file a
separate bugreport about this issue, since it makes the util-vserver
package useless on most architectures.

Cheers,
Christian Aichinger
