Updated to 717.inotify.5, fixing a bug. http://primates.ximian.com/~rml/kernel-rml/suse-93-i586/ Beagle probably won't ever trigger the bug, but it can cause an oops, so I would suggest everyone upgrade.

updatederest ever inotify kernels.
These kernels are dedicated to Mitch Hedberg, fellow South Floridian and lover of the laugh. Requiescat in Pace. These kernels are ONLY for SUSE 9.3 users using Beagle from CVS. They correspond to the soon-to-be-released 0.22 release of inotify. There are a handful of cleanups and minor fixes in this release, including two important changes: - I converted our internal locking scheme to semaphores. This lets us block more readily and thus clean up a bit of code that was previously contorted. More importantly, no more GFP_ATOMIC allocations. We can sleep whenever we want with whomever we want. Just like my ex-wife. - J.T. spotted a bug in the move code. The internal coalescing code was dropping moves that were duplicate in all values except cookie. We now verify that the cookies match before coalescing.
