Ok, the "Greased Weasel" release had a few problems, not the least of
which was the tcp bug that also resulted in the tar-file being corrupt
on ftp.funet.fi (it should have been ok on ftp.cs.helsinki.fi, though,
and all patch-files were ok).

There was also a problem with invalidating the virtual page cache when a
file was re-written (truncated at open), resulting in some
less-than-obvious problems.

Anyway, I now made a new kernel ("The Son of Greased Weasel"), and
1.3.52 should fix those problems. The new kernel also has a ide-cd
driver update and makes module support configurable.

PS. Happy new year to everybody, and thanks to everybody who were able
to decode and remembered by birthday.
