Manual?

I thought the ioctl(fd, WORMIOCFIXATION, &f) (used in wormcontrol.c) is
the only interface we have to the burner and that apparently got out
of sync with the kernel. 

What other way to go? I think a friend of mine has some old
Roentgenlaser, built after a famous old german book. Which track do I
need to shoot at? I think that beast can burn holes in steel, should
be sufficient :-]

BTW, as expected booting a 2.2.2-kernel on a 2.2-stable world made
wormcontrol work again.
