Ok I've had enough people bug me about this ... the current status is this

2.0.34pre11b appears to be basically solid. The bugs it is meant to fix it
seems to fix, the driver stuff is almost all shaken down (some tweaks
to come nothing big)

I have two items left on the pre12 list

o Normally non fatal Oops on tcp_*. We have at least one explanation
for how this could be occuring and I need to do a fix.

o Select() fget/fput fix. This may also be the thing causing the
odd hang a tiny number of folks see. We now know this is the
box stuck looping on a corrupt wait queue after select().
It could be the fget bug or the tcp bug doing this or something
else.

When those two are done I'll release pre12. Im changing jobs Friday so Im
going to be kind of busy for a bit and it may be a week or so before pre12
appears.
