looks good

I'm running this on multiple workstations, both i586 and x86_64, an i586 laptop, and an x86_64 server, as well as VirtualBox and VMWare VMs.  I think this can be validated.

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA5-32-OK MGA5-64-OK

This update works fine.
Testing complete for MGA5, 32-bit & 64-bit
Validating the update.
Could someone from the sysadmin team push to updates.
Thanks
