Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the "dasd.c" fix that Gary Eheman talked about in this posting on the FLEX-ES list?

As I recall, this problem was fixed in last April's code drop. I don't know what distributions currently have these fixes. Check out http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390/overview24.shtml
