I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT MODULA-3 MOW BUILDS PERFECTLY OK UNDER AN SMP KERNEL W/ YOUR MODS APPLIED !!! (for those who do not remember, building Modula-3 under an SMP kernel was broken for the last two months). However, there is still this nagging issue of silo overflows at an alarming rate; this does not show if I do not apply your mods. Congratulations for the improvements !
