Jens,

Can you tell me roughly which patches in 2.2.17pre[5|6] might be causing
the problems with my WPI CD-ROM? I'd like to avail myself of the other
fixes and improvements in the patches, but really need a functioning CD.

I _really_ wish that Larry McVoy's BitKeeper was in regular use, so
patchsets can be applied/backed-out in a fine-grained manner.

Many thanks!

Steve
