Of course nobody minds! :-) I posted a follow-up, but it went into the black hole of cvs-all. Briefly, I grepped the source tree and I believe that if you change the field to an "int" and then do a full make world and kernel build, it should work just fine. I recommend using an int rather than a long because on the Alpha, a long is 64 bits. (int32_t would be OK, too.) John -- John Polstra j...@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
