smoke test n. 1. A rudimentary form of testing applied to electronic equipment following repair or reconfiguration, in which power is applied and the tester checks for sparks, smoke, or other dramatic signs of fundamental failure. See magic smoke. 2. By extension, the first run of a piece of software after construction or a critical change. See and compare reality check.
There is an interesting semi-parallel to this term among typographers and printers: When new typefaces are being punch-cut by hand, a `smoke test' (hold the letter in candle smoke, then press it onto paper) is used to check out new dies.
The following table is the result of the nightly run of the simple compilation smoke test against the most recent CVS tree.

Run the smoke test on your machines and show your results here!
To do so, you must be a LCDproc developer on sourceforge. If you're not, just ask on the mailing list saying that you want to provide new smoke test reports. Once you're a developer, just check out the procedure for the simple compilation smoke test and run it automatically every night. Also add a cron job to do a scp st-compile-report/* user,lcdproc@web.sourceforge.net:htdocs/smoketests/st-compile-report/ The PHP script should see your platform and include it automatically. Ain't it neat?
