I have rebuilt a kernel for my own hardware (always do, often do it a couple of times while reorganising what gets compiled in and what's loaded as a module). So if there's a memory leak (which it seems there is, though it took some time to show up), it's not solved just by avoiding the distribution kernel. 8<--------------------------------------->8 Richard Shepherd ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 8<--------------------------------------->8 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
