I'm a poor programmer, not a «guru» like you, and I need more time to understand things. I'm trying to do my best. :) However I'm very proud to be a "poor programmer" (slow in understanding things) but a gentleman rather than a "kernel-guru" like you but totally ill-mannered. Thanks anyway for your (precious) time, Rodolfo P.S. A gentle programmer just wrote to me a letter where, proposing code/patches, showed to me possible good solutions, so I think I'm going to modify again the locking code soon. -- GNU/Linux Solutions e-mail: giometti@enneenne.com Linux Device Driver giometti@gnudd.com Embedded Systems giometti@linux.it UNIX programming phone: +39 349 2432127
