Hi, Here is -pre5. This version fixes the "memory filled with unfreeable inodes" problem which occurs on high memory machines in some workloads. That is the last big problem 2.4 VM had with highmem I believe. It contains a few other important fixes: - fixes a SMP deadlock introduced during 2.4.23 (which could hang the machine on high filesystem activity). - fixes a memory allocation deadlock in USB Amongst others. Please test it!
