Sorry to hear that. I saw a similar problem go away and I was hoping
this one would also have dissapeared :-)

I guess I could eliminate that option, I have no idea if anybody has
that much memory in a machine and uses Planet CCRMA. I think the option
is on in the RedHat kernels (did you try the tweaked RedHat kernel as
well?)

If it is not broken don't fix it :-)

It's there as usual, there is a link in the "System Stuff" section of
the planet ccrma pages.

evolution complains about not being able to properly parse it.
