Jeff,

glibc-package/debian/patches/glibc23-hppa-Rminkernel.dpatch

Has to go back into the list of patches, since it will keep users running their boxes with 2.4.17 or later based kernels instead of 2.4.19. Developer testing didn't catch this since we all run >2.4.19.

Please and thank you!

I'm doing the patches for the -rnptl branch right now, if I had paid attention I would have tried harder to queue this up earlier so it could have gone out on the recent release.

Great, thanks. I had to run off last night or I would've spun this up yesterday. It seems good that the Spirits forced someone to buy me dinner last night. =)

Thanks!
