Did you ever get the patch fixing the original patch? (I send it with
command line mail a few days back, I am not so sure how master that...).
Let me try to send it from within pine but I am afraid the lines can be
bad ...

 Doh! I can't count in hex it seems. This would probably also mean I won't
 have to recompile the whole kernel but just the modules and I don't have 
 to reboot to make it work on a new machine - but just until somebody else
 picks the same protocol number ofcourse.

 Do I have to fix the problem and resubmit?

Yes please.  A patch relative to the previous one would be nice.
