See http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/gerv/archives/006193.html (which may not be the best interpretation of the changes)
Basically it was added a "linuxcheck" function which you're not allowed to modify or delete. The function has a "warning", which results in something like: cdrecord: Warning: Running on Linux-2.6.8 cdrecord: There are unsettled issues with Linux-2.5 and newer. cdrecord: If you have unexpected problems, please try Linux-2.4 or Solaris.
(Dunno what it prints out when you're running suse but I don't think linux vendors are going to distribute software which says that their own software has issues.) - 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/
