And a change of vanilla kernel version leading to breakage is not a sufficient condition to conclude the kernel's at fault. The entire history of computing is saturated with examples of coders doing stupid things with foolish assumptions and incidental interfaces of operating systems (early games on *-DOS being a prime example) that are subsequently broken by new versions of the operating system. That's programs being stupid, not the operating system. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
