Let me see 2.1.107 broke scrollback on consoles and a couple of other
minor things and your client is whining about a development kernel
[ie by definition unstable] having had a couple of hiccups in the spelling
fixes - specific items which affect apps - that Linus has already backed
out for 2.1.108

I find it hard to take such people seriously for some reason. Are they
going to stop their NT port if the mouse on their new computer is the wrong
shade of grey ?
