Anyway, I already had a fairly similar patch and I commited it last night. I don't normally announce patches I commit to the list but thought this one is noteworthy as it solves the last big problem with 2.6. What still needs to be done is adding module supprt for 64-bit also - but that's not functional in 2.4 either and I have no plans to implement 64-bit modules in 2.4. Ralf
