The problem that I had with the debugger is a direct artifact of your
fix in /sys/standca/keyboard.c (which makes sense, since you seem to
be throwing away keystrokes). Are you sure this is correct?
Also, why did you alter all (nearly) of the RCS traces in /sys/caio,cacons,
etc? Your generic message "IBM bug fixes" is not really appropriate
in all cases, because there were some changes on top of new files! (thus
you have 1 entry for 2 different changes). I know for a fact that
these traces were not that way when I put them there. As a specific
example, /sys/caio/fd.c consisted of a NEW fd.c WITH changes analogous
to those from vers 1.1 to 1.2. Now, you have just the altered fd.c
checked in once with your generic header. This is NOT useful!
Further, why the rediculous revision 11 garbage? Athena's kernel is distinct
from IBM's (and shouldn't be required to stick to IBM's numbering scheme).
You should not have altered these...!!!!!!
