The stack-overflow fix is taken right from the Jeff Dike's tree. (In general I just insert fixes from either 2.6 or Jeff Dike's 2.4, which in turn is backporting them from 2.6 too). > What is the relative status of the BlaisorBlade's patches compared to > those published on the sourceforge site? -bs1 is later than 2.4.26-um3 and earlier than 2.4.27-1um. -bs2-pre6 contains at least all the stuff from 2.4.27-1um + incrementals (at least the worthy one). -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
