> I think I've checked in all the changes I got.  If you find something
> missing please resubmit the patch.
> 
> I have not addressed the chown stuff.  I leave this completely to the
> port maintains.  I.e., Andreas has to decide for m68k, Richard/Dave
> for SPARC, Richard(again) for Alpha, Geoff for PPC and Philip for ARM.
> I won't do anything if they don't agree and I urge the Debian people
> again to not use any patch which leads to incompatible libraries.
> 
> I checked in today a bit more character set stuff.  The important
> thing is ISO-8859-15.  If somebody asks you now whether Linux/Hurd is
> ready for the European Common Currency say: yes.  This charset
> contains the Euro symbol.

> And now a problem.  Since I have the SMP machine in my office I found
> occsionally problems with ex3 and ex6 in the LinuxThreads test.  The
> programs simply don't terminate occsionally.  With my new home machine
> I see the same but much more frequently.  I guess you need a fast SMP
> machine to see the problem (which of course would mean we have a race
> somewhere).  I think HJ has 2x 180MHz PPro (right?) and this is
> probably not fast enough.  At least I haven't heard any complains from
> him.

> I'll investigate this bug since it might also be the reason for some
> of the vague thread-related bug reports I got over time.
