Nope, I got the intention of your mail wrong ;-)
I thought you were complaining about patchset-1.0.1 not being top
on patchset-1.0.0.9.

Ok ok, got it. Following a special 'vacation' service :-)
The important differences between 1.0.0.9 and 1.0.1 mainly are:
- fixed a diabolic bug in mapping/mapfile.c (s/\|/,/) :-(
- made sure we realy have root-only access on the mapfile when
running suid root. On NFS mounted $HOME we will come into trouble,
when we have no root_squash. For security reasons we cannot
allow suid-root DOSEMUs publish its mapped executable space
on a NFS mounted volume, that isn't trusted enough to have
root_squash.
- changes to src/commands/emumouse.c (new options -Mx -My)
- fixed global.conf to take care of GNU sh-utils > 1.16
( default behaviour of 'who' isn't backward compatible anymore)
- changes to base-configure.in to reflect glibc-2.2 changes
- prepare src/base/misc/disks.c for linux-2.4.x
(BLKGETSIZE no long defineable via <linux/fs.h>)
