Er, why bother to fix bugs in such an ancient kernel, rather than upgrading to a more modern kernel (like 0.98:-)? It's like finding a bug in 2.3.30 and fixing it rather than grabbing 2.4.10 and seeing if the problem persists. Regards, Richard.... Permanent: rgooch@atnf.csiro.au Current: rgooch@ras.ucalgary.ca
