I think Jeff just didn't yet release a new 2.4 patch, since the reasoning=20 applies to both - anyway he'll have a better answer. About this, there was also the need for a patch to mainline (mentioned in t= he=20 same thread); I sent it to LKML and Andrew Morton, but only for 2.6 (it has= =20 been corrected a lot by Andrew Morton and sent to Linus for inclusion); 2.4= =20 still lacks the fix (as of 2.4.25). --=20 Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
