Glad to know I'm not crazy, but hopefully confirmation means it'll get fixed before 2.4.21-final. maybe I just missed the arguments since I wasn't reading LKML at the time; but *why* is IDE being revamped in the middle of a "stable" kernel series? however better it may be, I don't regard the existing situation as being bad enough to justify the risk.
