Hello Serguei, Could I get you to try alan's latest patchs
against 2.1.131 ? , I myself have tried gated-3.5.x &
gated-4.0.x under 2.1.131 with simplest gated.conf I can think
of and still won't stay running . I'll be trying alan's patchs
also but I'd like a second persons input also . More below ...

date and -most- of the contents are the same as Donald's site .
Which only has v1.05 from 16-Oct-1998 .
