	I'd love to get a working 2.6.0-test1 kernel, and the Sunday 
afternoon work was an 
{useless,misguided,kernelnewbieintheextreme,wastedeffort,pickany3} attempt 
to get closer to that.  *smile*
	Is there anything I could offer that could get us closer to even a
functional add-on patch?  Or am I like the amateur neurosurgeon, where the
other neurosurgeons are yelling "NO!  You've done enough already!"  
because I've mistakenly swapped the patient's cerebral cortex with his
spleen.
	Well hell, they were both grey and somewhat squishy, it was an 
honest mistake.  *hrmph*
	*smile*
	Cheers,
	- Bill

	Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at
least one instruction--from which, by induction, it is evident that every
program can be reduced to one instruction that does not work.
