:I'm going to update the ACPICA code to 20050309 soon because, after
:(or just before) the last import, Intel released two versions which

:Thanks.
    Lets move fast on this.  I want to slip the stable tag ASAP and I
    (was) only waiting on Jeff's tcp panic fix to be committed before
    doing it.  I was going to address the libc_r issue with Opera 
    blocking for long periods of time by slipping it again after that is
    found and fix.

(Just) Opera?  Does that mean that (the perhaps more widely used) 
Firefox *has*
been fixed already?  If not, no sweat ....
