Thank you for clarifying all of that, Qian and Vlastimil. I have been making the assumption, apparently mistaken, that adding kernel configuration options is a trivial change. I stand educated. Thank you for your ongoing patience with my passion regarding this. I am *not* a kernel developer, understand and appreciate the work involved, and know there are many other important things which need attention. I concede, but am going to submit one final patch which simply makes the value a define. My fundamental issue/fix here is that it is a magic token buried in the code, and it should at least be a clearly defined default, as a matter of principle. This will also make pre-compile sed/awk hacking much more reliable, for those so inclined. If even that change is unpalatable, I will graciously accept a simple "reject, based on previous discussion", with gratitude. <^) Thank you again for your consideration, and all of your hard work and contributions to the community. Happy Hacking! -- Gary
