I just realized that my latest testing (the last 24 hours) was on the original patch, not the updated one that you posted later, which included the stack checking. I'm sure that I was having the same problem with the overflow checking enabled and _not_ getting any errors from it, but I'll redo the testing for my sanity's sake. -- Dave Hansen haveblue@us.ibm.com -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
