*nod* - I can ask for a small extension from SRM, but if its anymore than 1 or 2 days, we'll probably just have to postpone for the next point release. fyi, I've been testing this patch on a machine of mine that I thought was hitting #517449. It seems to be running as stable as before. Though the patch didn't solve the issue I was seeing (I now think is unrelated), I haven't had time to dig deeper. Just a data point - I haven't tried testing for regressions. > I identified upstream fixes for some driver bugs that look like good > candidates for a stable update: #498271, #499527, #514268, #524300, > #524311, #530884. All of those fixes look like goodness for a stable update - please feel free to commit to the lenny branch (or I can do it, if you won't have time before release). -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
