--text follows this line--
I have uploaded PPSkit-0.4.1.tar.gz on
ftp://pcphy4.physik.uni-regensburg.de/pub/wiu09524/PPS. I'd like
people to try that version, especially as a new Linux-2.2 is to come
out very soon, and the scheduling code has been changed between
2.1.131 and 2.1.132, possibly affecting things.

In case people worry what it is, here's the LSM entry:

And here's the relevant part from the NEWS file:

NEWS for 0.4.1

+ Merged changes into Linux 2.1.132. ``N_PPSCLOCK'' had to be changed
in ``asm/termios.h'' again; the current value is ``13'' now.
Revised ``Documentation/kernel-time.txt'' to correct the outdated
interface description. Added missing patch for
``include/asm-sparc/termios.h''.

+ Notes from the merge: ``N_MASC'' (8) and ``N_R3964'' (9) are missing
in ``include/asm-{alpha,i386,m68k,mips,sparc64}/termios.h''

+ Updated ``enable_pps.c'' to work even if ``STA_UNSYNC'' is set.
Numerous related changes to improve the usefulness. Fixed bug when
ADJ_SINGLE_SHOT should be used.

Enjoy,
Ulrich
