SubjectRe: Processes not waiting for kerneld
DateSat, 4 May 96 11:03:55 +0930
Somebody pointed out that this problem only seems to affect people using
the 1.3.69f  code from the Debian distribution.

I had the problem with that code but then got the original stuff from
Bjorn's home page. <http://www.pi.se/blox/>

This fixed it.

Cheers,
Stephen.
