Aah...so possibly no fix in the older style?  The new
design seems easy enough to port to, I was just hoping
on not hopping too many revisions from the kernel rev
I have in (RHEL 4.5) if possible.  I was glad a minor
UG within the up2date cleared my huge issue (panic
when returning a payload thru libipq) but this of
course is just as bad...I had a hope to keep in the
RHEL available kernel distros but understand if this
was rolled in outside of what is convenient.
