zeus.kernel.org is currently running with HIGHMEM turned off, since it
crashed due to an unfortunate interaction between sendfile() and HIGHMEM
-- this was using 2.4.10-ac4 or thereabouts.
The current zeus.kernel.org has 1 GB of RAM, however, it looks like we're
going to get a 6 GB machine donated. Clearly HIGHMEM is going to be
necessary (still an x86 machine, unfortunately), and I wanted to ask if it
was believed that these problems had been worked out...

Get a 64-bit machine and forget about doing >32bits on a 32-bit machine

You're right, of course. Unfortunately, beggars can't be choosers. :(
