ChangeSet 1.1938.505.21, 2005/03/03 19:55:50-05:00, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[ACPI] ACPICA 20050303 from Bob Moore for AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT issue.
It turns out that tightening up the interpreter to truncate buffers
per the ACPI spec was a bad idea -- BIOS' in the field depended
on old behaviour. Instead, we'll endeavor to update the ACPI spec
to reflect industry practice in this area.
