No objection really, but I recently reformatted the m68k sys_ptrace() so it would be easier to regenerate your changes on top of this. I can do this for you if we can agree on to merge at least the m68k ptrace changes before this. For reference I put the patches at www.xs4all.nl/~zippel/m68k_merge/ (tf, p_ws, p_c are the relevant patches). Al, this also includes the updated thread_info patches, I fixed some of m68k specific parts. Could you please expand a little on the objections you made on IRC? bye, Roman
