Rats. I meant to say I'm using using 2.7.2.1. I don't think there ever
was a 2.7.3.x. The "known bugs" in 2.7.2.1 aren't a problem for the
kernel, since it uses the correct compile flags to get the same
behaviour as 2.7.2.3.
Anyway, Linus was wondering if I'm using ecgs. My point was that I
wouldn't bother submitting a bug report with a ecgs-compiled kernel.
BTW: my g77 is v0.5.18.
