I think the best solution is to move the KAIO syscall;
you should be using the dynamically linked (.so) version
of the KAIO library, so moving the syscall number should
work out OK. I'll post new patches on KAIO soon (today
if possible). Also, I'm curious to hear your experiences
with Sybase + KAIO.

Cheers,

ananth.
