Very clever. Invent new naming scheme of patches every couple of weeks, so that as many people as possible damage their trees. All other patches are called patch-VERSION. This one has to be called prerelease-to-final. And applying it over test12 if you missed the fact -prerelease exists (like I did) has some pretty fatal effect. Why can't you stick with 3 version numbers, Linus? Pavel -- I'm pavel@ucw.cz. "In my country we have almost anarchy and I don't care."
