Most messages I was able to dig up about this mentioned 2.2.17 and suggested upgrading to 2.2.18pre. I didn't think there is anything changed between 2.2.18pre25 and 2.2.18pre26(2.2.18 to be) in VM handling, so the problem still seems to persist. What are the suggestions? Moving to 2.4 is not possible, since the isdn compression module isdn_lzscomp.o won't work in 2.4. Greetings, Jurriaan -- (A)bort, (R)etry, (I)gnore, (V)alium?
