That may be true, but inspite of that there is another important and dangerous bug in 2.4.20 (the ext3 thing) that IMHO is enough reason to release a new kernel. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
