Linux 2.4.22-pre8-jam1m

Hi all...

Here is a version of -jam just on top of mainline, instead of -aa ( jam1_m_), as bproc does not mix well with -aa. This works with bproc, out cluster runs it now...
Anyways, vm behaviour in mainline should be far better now than time ago. When I have the time will put again all this on top of -aa.

Novelties:
