I queued and pushed your fixes above, thank you!
And I will be doing another rc this weekend in order to give us both
some time for proofreading. I intend to revisit the changes that I
made, and I of course welcome any and all additional bug reports and
fixes.

Your concern is the large quantities of vertical whitespace on page
569 of perfbook-1c.pdf? I could imagine expanding on the changes
in tooling from 2003 to 2006 that Linus alluded to. I could also
imagine filling in on my attempts to get the book going from late
2004 to 2006.
Or am I missing your point?
Thanx, Paul
