Right. If khttpd had been pulled from 2.4.17, I would have had weeks of warning that khttpd is unstable; instead, I learned only when someone started doing his own stress testing, and I have little time to fix it. I say pull it from 2.4.19-pre9. Marcello, put it out of its misery asap, please... it'd time for khttpd to become a standalone patch again. - Dan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
