Hi Matt,

I picked up the current CVS tree from Sourceforge.

In the 2.4 tree, I find several files that would appear to come from the
linux kernel
that have modifications in them.  If I wanted to derive a kernel patch that
I could use to apply to
an arbitrary kernel, which kernel version would I use as a base to diff
against?

I'm having some issues with MP system dumping - I'm getting some Oops type
issues in the 
ext2 file system in a stress test - the system tries to dump, but then
multiple processors get watchdog timeouts
and hose the dump - I'm hoping that the later code from the CVS tree will
begin to address this issue so I can
get to work on the "real" problem.

Kudos for the nifty "roll your own" functions for analysis of the dump file!
I've managed to 
hack together a short function to work on the structures I build up with my
debug code.  Very slick capability!

Thanks,
Richard
