I had updated my local repository last week-end and have had time this=20
week-end for checking that SYM-0.9.0 compiles ok for 3.3 and -current as=20
expected, and btw works fine for me under these O/S versions.

PS: If I am the only user of this driver, may-be I should switch its
status to production quality immediately. ;-)
