Unfortunately, I have a report of my own to make. This is running
'bonnie' concurrently with an 'ftp' download. I have my usual X-Windows
with Netscape and several remote logins running as well. The kernel is
2.0.31-pre-6 with the following additional patches:

- small update to 3c509 driver
- Ben LaHaise's buffer patch
- Krzysztof Strasburger's buffer patch

Here are the messages from the logfile:
