I'm sorry I didn't get those fixes into the patchkit (along with a billion other fixes), but my time was limited, and I felt that at the time, I could only focus on one thing, that was kernel stability (since my machine was VERY unstable). All of the patches are archived, and Jordan has a copy of them.. Nate -- osynw@terra.oscs.montana.edu | Still trying to find a good reason for nate@cs.montana.edu | these 'computer' things.
