Aha, thanks for this clarification, which is sure to save me some 
head-scratching time!

I shouldn't volunteer for anything, since I am already slacking at my existing 
volunteer projects.  So, for the moment, I will just stick to heaping praise 
upon the contributing coLinux developers (i.e.: thanks! you are studs!).

A more pressing project might be to fix the known deficiencies in 2.4 coLinux, 
such as the limitations with reiserfs, "raw" partition access, entropy 
gathering for /dev/random, etc., or to help the ReactOS folks with their 
ongoing efforts to make coLinux a Windows subsystem... not that I am 
volunteering for any of those either :-P  Perhaps a good use for the Wiki 
would be to begin sketching out the landscape of un-finished coLinux 
projects....  hmmm...  well, I'd better shut up before I start volunteering 
for things!

virtual beer,
