I'd like to rescind those patches, in favor of the following three, which take into account the feedback I've recieved on them. Specifically these patches are redistributed to only be three patches rather than 11, so that each patch fixes a class of problem that I found. Also the changes for delayed checks of return codes that don't consider negative returns now properly check for >= 0 codes. Finally added printks, all have the same string format, to save space in the string table. Thanks & Regards Neil
