Sometimes unexpected little details in the .config make a difference, we are not asking you that because we are second-guessing you in any way, the reason is simple: i frequently boot _the very .config that others use_, and see surprising reproducability of bugs that i couldnt trigger before. It's standard procedure to just pick up the .config of others to eliminate a whole bunch of degrees of freedom for a bug to hide behind - and your "it's a pretty standard config" description doesnt really achieve that. It probably wont make a real difference, but it's really easy for you to send and it's still very useful when one tries to eliminate possibilities and when one wants to concentrate on the remaining possibilities alone. Thanks again, Ingo
