Changes from 1.3.64 to 1.3.65
These changes are archived on ftp.crynwr.com:pub/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-1.3.65.gz
These are from mec@treflan.shout.net (Michael Chastain)
