It's a SuSE 7.1 which has "gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)".

Hmm, I just thought I give it a try with the newest 2.4 kernel and
the current JFS 1.0.21, but if you say I also have to upgrade my
compiler that I probably just leave it as it is, because I just do
not have the time to upgrade gcc or the distribution... (And this
was my first _corruption_ since the heavy one in April.)

Hmm, to me it seems that the JFS team has a fixed layed out which
they pursue without much looking left or right. :-(
I had sent several problems and also severe corruptions to this list
before, but after a general "we will be looking into this" I have
never heard anything again, and the Changelog entries are too
technical for normal users like me, and I cannot see if there was
something related to my problem(s). I definitely wish that the JFS
team would be a bit more verbose...
Greetings,
Peter.
