Hi Poul!

Well, I loaded the Linux LKM matched to
an old kernel to show Wingz to someone, 
and crashed my system badly :(

(Well, I didn'y notice that the last make 
World failed to install linux_mod.o,
because of _linux_mod not being defined.)

That was not surprising, but when fsck
cleaned my /usr partition, it complained
about lots of UNREF FILE I=xxx and there
was one malloc warning for each inode, which
may or may not point at some problem ...


  Malloc warning: free: junk pointer (too low)

gets written at the first UNREF FILE line,

  Malloc warning: free: junk pointer (too high)

for each succeeding inode being removed.

Just wanted to let you know, since I'm not
sure just what this message means ...

(This was -current, BTW.)

Regards, Stefan
