Dell 1950/2950 indeed...
if there is any way to catch that writing without crashing the system
(even to the price of some slowness) I can test it. if not, I can't
because all my available targets are remote administrated and involved
with production processes.
if luckilly one of them gets free, I'll to apply the latest patch you'd
provide me. I may also try it one day I'm close to those machines, so
keep me in the list of up to date patches.
