Hi Itojun,
Yeah, this explains it...I compiled the kernel on 4/26, but at that 
time my userland was older. I just tried compiling a kernel w/o v6 & 
it worked fine after reboot :-) (my pppd is now from 5/8/00).

Sorry if this was covered in current-users...with over 1200 mails 
since 4/1 (as if that were my only list), it's tough to keep up!

I apologize if the tone was harsh...I like the work that Itojun has 
been doing and have been quite amazed at the speed with which he 
corrects any problems that he gets report of. I apologize for not 
emailing the list when I first encountered the problem, but my 'Net 
connection is "less than ideal" at the moment (which is why my alpha 
is remote to me, at my last house, with no monitor/keyboard & no 
other computers nearby). My comments weren't meant to be against 
Itojun, but rather the statement that nothing had been broken, which 
was made by someone else. Something being broken in -current is 
nothing new, & not a problem IMO, but saying that it hadn't been 
broken is incorrect.

Sorry for the commotion,
Mike
