On Sun, 2 Jan 2000 00:51:27 -0500, Derrick J Brashear wished us to know
that:

I've made a small modification to my 2.2.13 kernel and the machine has
been up for over 7 hours
now (previously it'd hang after about 4 hours).
The change that kept it going sofar:

I applied this patch, and the system seems more stable
than ever. I was able to launch & run 16 copies of lucifer (causeing a
system load of 36+) for more than 8 hours without a crash.
I'm not a programer, and do not know what the downside is to doing this
(if any)
