Ok, I updated both the 1.2.x and 1.3.x trees today, and they are
available on the normal sites.

1.2.13 does:

- ppp bugfix that fixes problems when hangup occurs at bad moments
- block devices >= 4GB could get spurious read errors under some
circumstances
- hpfs memory leak
- too long NFS server timeouts
- /proc/<pid> uid's updated for some processes that use them

1.3.15 has the above fixes (most of them were in 1.3.14 already,
actually, as 1.3.x versions come out more often), and also does:

- lots of "const char *" stuff: eventually linux might be compiled
cleanly even when adding "-Wcast-qual" and "-Wwrite-strings". Not
yet, though.
- some timer fixes ("alarm(-1)" works reasonably, itimers check for
overflow)
- cdu31a cdrom driver update (_now_ it should work)
- hp100 net driver update
- aic7xxx SCSI driver update (aha2940)
- various minor networking updates (RFC1122 checks etc)

It works for me...
