2.6.25 is'nt that old quite yet!  OK, I get the idea, anyway.

OK, thanks.  I did some very basic tests, and I'm not terribly worried
about it; at worst, it's unlikely to break anything that's already
working.  But let me know what you find out.

up with a few smaller patches I think I've missed and submit another
request before the weekend.
