Does this only happen for 3.0-current, or also for 2.2-stable? The latter would be more alarming (right before 2.2.5), but my test machine with the wt drives is currently running 2.2., so i could investigate it there. Investigating on 3.0-current is a little harder right now. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
