A patch? See here in loop dot c: #define LOOP_BH_Set 7 /* it's ugly, but... */ static int max_loop = 8; I don't know whether that's all. There's a rough chance you can set max_loop in /etc/modules.conf. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. ============================== If you don't like being told you're wrong, be right!
