fast.cs.utah.edu just crashed: I didn't even know I depended on it.

Yes, when there's nothing else left to do.
Now don't be the Terry Lambert of the kaffe project and do some cool
stuff instead, like inlining softcall_lookupmethod for interface dispatch
or even perfect hashing that you keep talking about.
