Does this warning refers to any of the other patches you posted? To which o= ne=20 especially? Is this related to the removal of MM_COPY_SEGMENTS ? Also, if there is any incompatibility, it should be named skas4. But since = Jeff Dike's will release skas4, even improving skas3 by breaking=20 compatibility is not useful. And if it is accepted, it should at least be=20 released also for 2.4(the guest 2.4/2.6 choice must be unrelated to the hos= t=20 choice). Bye, and thanks for your work here! --=20 cat <
