Well, here's problems 2.0.12 has revealed:

1) (recently) "send_head NULL in tcp_retransmit_time" appeared in logs

2) (repeatedly) "BSD based fragmenting router... etc.. etc." These are
annoying

3) A seemingly stuck socket (a day a least)

>From netstat -ao:

tcp 1 0 ferret.lmh.ox.ac.u:ftp jupiter.zzz.ee:3034 CLOSE_WAIT
root off (0.00/0)
tcp 0 0 ferret.lmh.ox.ac.uk:20 jupiter.zzz.ee:23886 SYN_SENT
root off (0.00/0)

On another note, what compiler options do people find optimal for
compiling the kernel with the latest pentium-gcc? (which I'm giving a go
soon).

Cheers,
Chris.
