Of course > it's not a priority, but it's there. Yes, that's exactly what I was hoping for, thanks! Even if no Windows apps do such a thing (which wasn't confirmed yet), Wine may still need that fix for the DOS support in the future, and dosemu seems to be in need of that fix already and for long (that's where I am getting the use of it). And we haven't heard a word for a VMWare yet, and I think they may appreciate that too. Also, since the first version of the path, I've been contacted by a few people asking me to provide an updated version for 2.6.9 and 2.6.10. I don't know the reason, but I know it was used (I think they were more concerned about an aforementioned "information leak", rather than about the %esp corruption). So if the last problem with that patch was that it is not really needed, I think it no longer stays:) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
