Changes from 1.3.25 to 1.3.26

These changes are archived on ftp.crynwr.com:pub/kchanges and http://www.crynwr.com/kchanges. I cannot answer questions about Linux -- I merely summarize the kernel patches after reading them. I try to make them useful to everyone, but kernel hackers should take them with a grain of salt and read the patches themselves. The patch file is patch-1.3.26.gz

These are from Linus:

1.3.26 does "interesting" things to the process handling, but I'm hopeful that it will be stable despite this. And we're getting closer and closer to full "clone()" functionality and threads (in fact, the kernel uses "clone()" to do the intial code duplication in init).

And as usual, I really want to know about any potential problems. Also, as usual, I don't have time to parse the Oops messages for you, so you need to do that yourself. I added the "ksymoops" program to the kernel source tree: you need g++ and the C++ libraries to compile it, but if you have that you may find it an easier way to parse those pesky oops messages.
