Untested. Needs testing on 32 bit powermac, I guess.

This typo was introduced in v2.6.36. No one noticed because very few
people still use 32 bit powermacs?

How does that bug manifest itself?

Do you want to know how to test this patch on a 32 bit powermac? Ie, see
if it has any effect, and whether that effect improves things or make
things worse.

I have no clue how to do that, sorry. Perhaps someone else has.
