I didn't compile in SMB (no need to access windoze, luckily :-) ),
hardly use USB... Seems I run around bugs :-)
BTW testing a 2.4.19preX or even 2.5 (I know these are really buggy...)
was already on the todo list :-)

I'll keep that vcd file just as the last test on every new kernel :-) If
it can be reencoded 5 times in a row, I'll declare that kernel stable
enough :-)

BYtE,
 Diego.
