SubjectRe: Mega Patch #8, or "Why stop now while we haven't broken it all"

I'll try it, for #7, I added an include for config.h into plip.h and
kdbg.h since make complained that it needed it. Don't know if that was the
correct procedure but it completed the make though I got these two warning
messages:

devinet.c: In function `devinet_ioctl':
devinet.c:139: warning: implicit declaration of function `dev_load'
socket.c: In function `sys_recvmsg':
socket.c:1210: warning: `len' might be used uninitialized in this function

I could not see how len might turn out to be unitialized.

Have to try that.

Sorry, but gawd, is it a riot! I didn't down load it, a buddy did
when I mentioned its existence so I guess I am culpable for that
particular 11M disruption!

It seemed that adding and include for config.h fixed that up.

No lie! Hardly any futzing around, this note is coming from a
P6DOF board. I am running mostly off a raid with 4 scsi hosts
ethernet ne2000 working fine, etc.

A googooplex of thanks!
