Whoops! E-mails, 4am again, you understand. =)
I meant that to be in reference to my glibc 2.1 update efforts. My Kernel
2.4 efforts have been suddenly halted by a mysteriously sudden lack of an
autoconf.h file on my Linux system. I discovered that when I tried to
compile a 2.4.4 kernel, and I haven't had the time/opportunity to fix it
since.
2 days until vacation, then I can write the Abuse Reporting HOWTO, an
adventure for GenCon that I got tricked into volunteering for, and fixing
my system to do some hardcore devel work. =)

Again, glibc 2.1. Kernel 2.4.4 is on hold until I can pull autoconf.h out
of my tail and stick it on my compy again.

They're not MUCH under 500k, and most of that is due to UPX, but the
pulling of the PCI Device Name Database seems to be key; apparently it's a
LOT larger than the 20K advertised in the help file.
