Hi Everyone,
I have put the new version of the UTIME patch (v1.15) at
http://hegel.ittc.ukans.edu/projects/utime/

There was a small typing mistake in the 1.14 patch
that caused the kernel to crash on a pentium machine (never again will
I trust my typing skills, or just test it on a PPRO)

For those who have already tried out v1.14, you can either download the
new patch or apply this small patch to kernel/sched.c
