OK, yes, it's there. I'm working across a modem phone line from home
so I don't really have as much access to the source as you think ...
I only saw the messages because I keep rebooting the machine to test
some kernel code :-(.

speedo_debug > 2? Well, well ..

I believe the condition just cured itself! But the timer must be wrong.
This is a busy net, and I receive mail from at least the kernel list

What does it think is a "Long Time" (TM)?

Thanks!
