Subject: Linux-1.3.62
Linux-1.3.62 is out there: the patch _looks_ large, but ithe bulk of the
patches is just a split of the old tcp.c file into several smaller files
for easier readability. Other changes:
- ret_from_sys_call on alpha now correctly checks for bottom half
handlers.
- ide-cd driver update
- serial driver race fix
- buggy apm bios workaround
- vortex driver media option fix
- token ring driver timeout fix
- SCSI tape fileno fix
- VFAT readdir update
- profile buffer uses 'int' instead of 'long' (32 bits is quite enough
on the alpha, thank you).
Also note that as of 1.3.61 there has been a config option for a.out
executable format support (called "ECOFF" on the alpha), and if you are
using an old config file that won't have been picked up automatically.
99% of all people want to have this enabled (_very_ few people have a
truly 100% ELF setup).
