  [ Chris Coulson ]
  * debian/patches/10_smaller_syndaemon_timeout.patch: Update to increase
    the size of the stack allocated array for the extra argument passed to
    syndaemon. This fixes a crash in the PLT due to a corrupt %ebx register
    (which holds the GOT base address on i386), which was caused in an earlier
    function by writing zero in to the location on the stack where the value of
    %ebx is saved. Thanks to Sebastien Bacher for spotting the buggy patch!
