I'm working on a fix for this--which is why I'm working on making a back version inclusive copy of the CVS. If you get yourself a copy of the CVS at an earlier date it should work fine. Unfortunately for all of us, the last CVS update happened not too long before Kevin's trouble with Mandrakesoft--so we aren't quite sure what is causing the problem. The best explanation is that there is something wrong with the handling of the switch to protected mode--but I have yet to be able to test that idea.
I hope to have a fix out soon for all of those debian folk who must be really diasappointed (sp?)--and for everyone else here--so that we can get the show back on the road. Once again, I'd like to say that I can't do all of this alone--and any help that we can get doing debug (even if you don't have any idea about how to fix the errors that you find) is greatly appreciated.
