It seems fine here. I can "make -j bzImage", fork bomb it, grab video to AVI,
view said video again, and all is well. Even the floppy driver works again.

It got fairly unresponsive when the slram swap was full and it had to swap to
disk, but that's already been reported, and I tend to think it's time to buy
more RAM if it ever actually has to touch the disk anyway ;)
