Hiya Marc,
Thanks for the pointers to the new VM systems. I changed the kernel over to 2.4.21-rc2-ac2 (has rmap in it, right?) and I am rerunning my tests to see if that solves the problem.
I agree with Andrea about bugs.. I certainly accept them as a necessary evil. I tend to get frustrated when faced with something that I dont have the skill to solve myself however. Especially so when I cant seem to get pointed in the right direction by anyone. :)
Thanks again for your suggestion, and I will let you know if it works out!

For me, I use the rmap VM. The problem is eliminated in that tree. Also the -aa VM does not have that problem.
I am pretty sure Andrea sent a fix for this issue more than once a while ago to the list cc'ed Marcelo (correct me if I am wrong), but to quote Andrea: "We are here to fix bugs. If bug fixes are not accepted we can stop right here to fix bugs".
ciao, Marc
