Anthony,

I tried out the new eexpress.c you sent me and ran into the following while
trying to compile on a 1.2.13 kernel. I am also sending a CC of this to
Phillip Blundell to see if he might have any thoughts?

Thanks Anthony for sending me the code and Thanks Phillip in advance for
hopefully helping me out! :)

The following is the output from the make zlilo:
