Just a request, could you add the following patch to the kernel?

The University of Oslo require us to have this patch on our machines
before the 28th of march.



And now for another success-story. :)

At Notam in Oslo we now have 8 linux machines available for various
people working with computermusic and programming. I'm the administrator
of these machines.

One week ago, I planet-ccrma-ized the machines and
deleted the old system where the music and sound programs was
placed on a sentralized disk on a server. (except for Snd where
we need a newer version of guile, and some programs which is not
a part of planet-ccrma). I also let the machines run
"apt-get update;apt-get --assume-yes dist-upgrade >/var/log/aptlog"
each night.

And this seems to work just great so far. My job has gotten far
easier. Thank you very much for your work Fernando, planet-ccrma
works very fine. :)
