+A bit of bug fixing has bee going on:
+
+Samuel Thibault taught [[GNU Mach|microkernel/mach/gnumach]] that Intel Pentium
+4 and Opteron-class CPUs [are not just
+i386](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/commit-hurd/2010-10/msg00021.html), but
+in fact a bit more advanced.  Not only does this help GNU Mach to select
+optimized code paths, but this information is also propagated to the user
+space, and used for the `uname` command, for example.
+
+Pino Toscano continued [fixing bugs in the socket-related glibc code and Hurd's
+pfinet](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-10/msg00017.html).
+
+After finding out that our `pread` implementation does not conform to the POSIX
+standard in one aspect, Manuel Menal analyzed this, and [posted a
+patch](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-10/msg00056.html).
+
+Alexey Kuznetsov [privided IPv6 raw socket
+fixes](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/commit-hurd/2010-10/msg00028.html) for
+[[hurd/translator/pfinet]].
+
+Michael Banck [uploaded a new version of
+crosshurd](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/commit-hurd/2010-10/msg00006.html)
+to keep up with recent packaging and dependency changes.
+
+Samuel Thibault uploaded [[hurd/translator/gopherfs]] packages [to the Debian
+repository](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2010/10/msg00018.html).  He
+also [enabled IPv6 support for Debian Installer
+installations](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/commit-hurd/2010-10/msg00034.html).
+
+Thomas Schwinge:
+
+> It's been a really long-long time (hooray!), but now
+> [[flubber|public_hurd_boxen]]'s root file system is totally hosed, and thus
+> needs to be
+> [re-installed](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-10/msg00003.html).
+> (I've been running `apt-get dist-upgrade` when the box apparently crashed.)
+> Running `e2fsck` on it spew out over 50.000 lines of illegal and
+> multiply-claimed block lists, before I terminated it, so no chance.  I'll do
+> this over the weekend.  `/home/` etc. are not affected, thanks to being on a
+> separate partition.
+
+As of two days later, the machine was
+[re-installed](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2010-10/msg00011.html).
