Hi -

  I am seeing some differences in behaviour between uniprocessor -current
(i386) and the sommerfeld_i386_mp1 branch with code CVS updated on
27 June.  

  The short version: some clone-using apps do not work w/the branch,
but do work with the trunk on the same hw+userland.

  The most-repeatable and clearest example of this is with the
Linux command line client from http://www.edonkey2000.com/
When there is no state (e.g., run in an empty directory), the
client functions the same for both kernels, AFAICT.   When there
is state (i.e., you have a non-empty temp or incoming directory),
the client works fine on the trunk kernel and fails on the branch.

  Does this ring a bell with anybody?

	Sean.
