That reminds me: I encountered an interesting extra problem using the 
populate script: the resolver library (at least in glibc) dynamically 
loads the library it requires (unfortunately I can't remember *which* 
library that is at the moment) and fails silently if that library can't be 
found.  Took me *ages* to figure that one out!

Ah yes, I had to use strace to figure out the problem -- and running it 
again, I see that I need to have /lib/libnss_dns.so.2 and 
/lib/libresolv.so.2 available.  I don't know why these are always 
dynamically linked, seems very odd to me.

Just a little warning if you use this otherwise quite cute script.
