    Well, this did help. So far performance is great and things have been
    working without a hitch (only about an hour of use so far though, I'll know
    more tomorrow when I actually put some stress on it).

    I also tried classzone-25 but things there didn't work nearly so well as
    just about everything seemed to cause an Oops. I also have a new side
    effect that stared with the classzone patches, a reboot the Redhat 6.2
    scripts to report all of my dismounts as failed, even though they appear to
    have actually dismounted correctly. This doesn't happen with non classzone
    patch 2.3.99-pre7-6.

    Later,
    Tom
