Hi,

Petr Vandrovic's patch works for me.
$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.5-pre1 (tleete@mercury) (gcc version 3.0 20010423
(prerelease)) #6 Tue May 15 07:13:10 EDT 2001
You don't mention the constraint changes, did you apply them too?

I posted a simpler patch which miscompiled on gcc3 and 2.95.3. Still trying
to understand why, it was Obviously Correct. It was also the cause of my
boot hangs.

Cheers,
Tom
