Hi Hartmut,
I remember this exactly, getting older anyway, but you had no chance
coming in with that on a quickly changing target, finally all of us shot
down as a crowd of lamers, a cheap target for kernel masterminds,
claiming we don't had anything in the right place ...
Let them pay for it now :)
Cheers,
Hermann
