Just please don't be malicious and add this kind of code deliberately. :) Every build breaker wastes my precious time to fix it.=20 That's compulsive/obsessive in some way. ;) On the contrary, my "just break it" desktop is destined to have it's HDD contents overwritten once in a time. That's what these spare disks/computers are for, aren't they? All the data on that computer is volatile, all (not too frequent) backup is mostly made through the network and checked from the stable computer. If I really needed it very stable, I wouldn't test Reiser4 on it, less so a development kernel. That's why my stable machine uses latest release kern= el, and only after it's broken in by at least a week. --=20 AstralStorm GPG Key ID =3D 0xD1F10BA2 GPG Key fingerprint =3D 96E2 304A B9C4 949A 10A0 9105 9543 0453 D1F1 0BA2 Please encrypt if you can. --Signature=_Fri__29_Jul_2005_02_50_34_+0200_U_i_uS76D68QoEoq Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1-ecc0.1.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFC6X1glUMEU9HxC6IRAsSxAKCmsA5nKHftrFJKUG+esb+IKiEwkACbBNtx GedRBrZzyhjRQDwnEcuectI= =lXKl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Fri__29_Jul_2005_02_50_34_+0200_U_i_uS76D68QoEoq--
