FWIW, I compiled 2.0.36prepatch 6 last night, including the ISDN stuff,
and that went fine.

BTW, I was running prepatch-2 since Sunday up to yesterday (Wednesday)
when I started getting problems:

(above was while I was away) and the first thing I did when I came home
was "locate ...":

A couple more of these followed until I managed to reboot (it also
crashed my X, so I had to fire up the old Sun to telnet in and reboot...)
I'm pretty sure it's not my hardware, as it was running 2.0.33 for months
non-stop and never gave any sign of problems.

I don't know whether this problem has been remedied in the prepatches
between 2 and 6, as I only received announces for -2 and -6... Anyway,
I'll leave pre-6 running for the time being.
