Sounds promising! I'll give it a try as soon as the official release is out.

I finally got around to testing this again but it still fails, albeit in a somewhat different manner; this time I get a null file in response as soon as the file size is above 255 characters in length. Here is
what I did:

I just ran this test against 2.6.24-rc7, and it worked fine for
me. There may be fixes that went in over the last few months to
mainline that could impact this particular use case. If I can find the
time, I may make another backport release, but for now, I recommend
just trying the mainline 2.6.24 kernel (the current -rc release is
pretty stable at this point, and I expect the official 2.6.24 kernel
to come out in the near future).

Thanks,
Mike

I downloaded this new version but couldn't get it to compile on my system (which I just upgraded to Ubuntu Gutsy with the latest set of c libraries etc). The compile error that I get is (when compiling using install.sh):

make[2]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-11-generic'
I just built and tested the latest release against 2.6.22.
