Dear listmembers, seing the communication between Jurij and Dave I took a glance into the 2.4.29 - tree and found the identical code segment as discussed below. This tells me that 2.4.X is supposed to suffer from the same issues as you tracked down for 2.6.X, isn't it? However, what I did not find is include/asm-sparc64/compat.h; this made me wonder whether I should expect a basic difference here, but maybe I simply misunderstood. Thanks, take care
