I'm running a 32 bit lucid container so the above if condition will fail
regardless of the bitness since dist is not natty or oneric.

I'm using 32 bit because it was suggested at the time of the original
discussions in the list that this would use far less memory compared
with a 64 bit setup.

I've gone back to running lp directly on my 64 bit natty system. I'm not
sure who else would be doing what I did in running a 32 bit container on
a 64 bit system. If there are others with the same problem, we should
try and solve it, but if it's just me.....

BTW. The rabbit test layer also fails inside LXC.
