Start all over again using the modified clue, since your editing threshold seems to have timed out, using the clue dealling with posting it in machine code.
[size=8pt]My fault. Seems that during the 15-minute editing period someone with nothing better to do managed to discover the tired old denial-of-service prank of logging into guvax on two simultaneous terminals, grabbing pseudo-root access on one of them, proceeding to run $ hexdump /dev/tty# (where "#" represents the other terminal he was logged in to) then hitting "enter" a few times in the other, bringing the machine to its knees and requiring me to forcibly reboot it.
Someone's getting their access pulled tonight.
