Add 1.3.43 to the list. rc.0 still fails to run at shutdown/reboot/halt.
Occasionally giving problems with dirty partitions on rebooting.

1.3.43 however fixed a problem with Midnight Commander 3.0 misinterpreting
the cursor keys on the numeric key pad which appeared with 1.3.42

Set up is basically Slackware 2.1 with UK keymap, gcc 2.5.8 etc. 486dx2/66
VLB. No real problems with any kernels I've run until 1.3.38 came along
except for a couple of tape related problems. Must have run almost every
1.3.xx up till then.
