m68k 2.6.29.1 performance (race in MSG_PEEK)

[Lance Tagliapietra <lancetag@Luminet.net>]

All,

By freeing up memory and removing kernel features that I don't need I have managed
to get m68k 2.6.29.1 to throw the following kernel message (first observed in my dmesg):

TCP(fetchmail:5006): Application bug, race in MSG_PEEK

A bit of research showed that it is a known issue:

I had never seen this race condition under m68k Linux (implying a performance 
improvement was gained)!
