Alan, that's what I reported -- restricted to the system time -- two days ago in <20001228151441.A3473@emma1.emma.line.org>. That mail is also in my lk folder and has kernel.org Received: headers, so you should have got that mail as well; plus you got it as copy. Is there something wrong with mail routing?
