->in the testing directory on ftp.kernel.org there's a p10.gz
->that applies cleanly to pre-2.0.31-9

->it fixes the instability and complete lockup that would happen

->testing it for a couple days and have yet to kill it.

Yeah, for me it seems to work better as well. I had been it running so
far for 3 days nonstop and it seemed to work prefectly (w/ pre-9 I would
have some random opes for processes from time to time). I'm going to give
it stress-test sometime later.

still I need some good stress program... it is getting harder and harder
to kill kernel ... and unfortunatelly you can't do 'mak -j Word' w/
Xfree86-3.3.1 :(

bonnie? what is it ?
