If any of you have any spare cycles at all, please give this a spin. The things ohai does are extraordinarily difficult to test artificially so we rely on your feedback to catch any lurking issues.

Thanks,

Just submitted a bug report for improper ipaddress detection on vserver
guests. This was fixed previously in v0.6.12 but seems to have been broken
again after that. I have tried a newer ohai release until now and just
noticed it.
