Thanks. I can fix CLUSTERIP. SANE is not too important since
its
deprecated and unfixable broken wrt. 64 bit cleanness. At
some
point we should remove it, I'll add it to
feature-removal-schedule.

BTW, I would suggest to remove it entirely, it just doesn't
work
properly. Most people won't use it anyways because I guess
no sane
distributor compiles 32 bit packages on a 64 bit kernel
exactly
because this kind of crap. For people that actually use it
it will
break once we add proper support to the kernel.

I'll fix CLUSTERIP now ..
