I'm glad to hear it. I don't have nearly as much experiance with Linux as
many people here: my first kernel was 2.0.0. The first software upgrade I
did over straight slackware was to upgrade the kernel to the newest
available: 2.1.25, I think. Since, I have used 1 stable kernel -- 2.0.30,
between when I installed Linux on my new computer, and my first compile on
it: the kernel.

So why didn't you fix it then? You obviously had enough experiance, and it
wouldn't have been to hard then, but now there is change piled upon change.

Sigh... I don't have time to work on it, and I don't have the inclanation
to fix it. I might start work on it anyway.
