Hi all,

Does anyone know what happened to the patch proposed by Alan Stern:

http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0402.1/1147.html

I looked at the latest sources of 2.4 and 2.6 and this patch was not applied to them. Was there a specific reason, was this patch not tested or found buggy ? I believe I have encountered a bug in the system I'm running that is related to this, I found this by accident when debugging appletalk, and found out that someone already saw this...

Can this patch be applied to the next kernel build ? I noticed that it was only for 2.6, I can create a similar patch for 2.4 if needed, I just need to know if there was something wrong with it.
