More or less.. The data, text and vmem limit checking in general. Matt's initial commit on 20020830 broke Alpha totally, so the earliest kernel that would both exhibit the problem and could get to the point of attempting to build world would be from 20020903. I'll update my proposed UPDATING entry with the 20020903 date so as to be more exact. Assuming I do that, do you agree that its accurate enough to be helpful?
