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).
