Tony,

I wouldn't mind playing around with a pre-2.6.16 kernel patched with this
patch. FWIW, I have the source for 2.6.13 sitting on my box. If you can let
me know via a unified diff which file(s) need to be patched, I'll roll my
own 2.6.13 kernel for my box and see how well it works for me. ;-)

Thanks,
John
