Trying to make releases slightly more often and slightly smaller.
ACPI, USB, networking (mainly netfilter) updates. Some syscall path
updates and a thread bug in mm_release() that would miss updating the TID
and cause a few extra traps at exec time.
And a watchdog forward port from 2.4.x by DaveJ.

Presumably one of your filesystems is using htree (indexed directories).
It's a bug - nobody has found it yet.
The modestly good news is that I have found a workload which triggers it in
ten minutes, but I have not looked into it at all.
The modestly bad news is that e2fsprogs-1.32's mke2fs enables htree by
default. It really shouldn't be doing that - htree isn't ready yet.
Use
dumpe2fs -h /dev/hda1 | grep dir_index
to see if htree is enabled.
Use
tune2fs -O '^dir_index' /dev/hda1
to disable it.
There are no trmendously bad bugs in htree. Mainly this one (which _could_
cause crashes and scribbled directories) and a small memory leak on each
unlink.

I can take care of that, although i think this driver could be removed due
scx200_wdt.c supporting the same hardware. I'll look into it.

Yup, it didn't before I poked it too, it needs updating to the new PNP-fu

just to stem the number of 'this still isnt finished' reports I'm
getting, I'm working through the 2.4 diffs incrementally. I'm not
done yet, so please, be patient..
