There's something different between Simon's 1.3.64 and Linus' 1.3.64.
A few days ago I tried to manually patch it up to 1.3.90 (I mirror all
the kernel patches). My patch script broke at 1.3.68 or 1.3.69 - about
4 or 5 "patch already applied, assume -R [y/n]?" type messages.
I answered N each time, not wanting to reverse the patches, and continued
patching up to 1.3.90 (which was the latest patch I had at the time).
Kernel compilation broke somewhere in the net drivers (I think). Didn't
have enough time to look at the problem closely so decided to leave it
alone until I had more time.
