>.. is out there now, and includes:
>
> - subtle fix for lazy FP save and restore on x86. The bug has been there
> for a long time, but was apparently triggered by the re-write of the
> low-level scheduling function. It could result in corrupted i387 state
> under certain (admittedly fairly unlikely) circumstances.
> - various networking updates. Some of the bugs fixed could result in
> kernel Oopses. None of them were common, though.
> - fixes for both filesystem accounting and quota handling.
> - the much-ado-about-little video driver merge.
> - PPC and Sparc updates
> - i386/SMP interrupt handling falls back on the safe mode.. Please tell
> me whether there are still machines with problems.
> - some new network drivers and updates
> - final (we hope) IP masquerade update

>I still have a problem with certain machines that apparently don't want to
