Subject: [Announcement] linux-2.0.40-rc2
Date:	 Thu, 24 Jan 2002 00:09:48 +0100

Seems like objections never arise before I declare my intent to
make a final release. Then again, this caused some very important
fixes (and some less so) to make it into the upcoming 2.0.40.
Again, if you find any reason for not releasing 2.0.40 yet, or
something that you consider worth including in 2.0.40, please
speak up as soon as possible.

o	Revert array-size change in		(me, on advise from
	include/linux/module.h			 Jari Ruusu)

	| and I don't give a damn ;-)


2.0.40-pre3

o	Fix typo in sched.c			(Tim Sutherland)
