Re: kernel 2.2.12



I just upgraded a potato system to 2.2.12 due to the 2.2.11 memory leak.
The release notes say that the .12 kernel won't compile with gcc 2.95. I
have gcc 2.91.66-2 on that system and it compiled ok, a few warnings but
no errors. System came up with no problem and no memory leak.
