  Do you have an alternative ? Because this is commited in CVS and I 
would like to get 0.3.2 rolled out ASAP ! So if you have a practical
suggestion or a patch, please post it, I may delay the issue but
just stating 'crazy Linuxism' without specifying why and how this can
be fixed won't help.

  thanks !

Daniel
