- Well, I seem to have found what may be the problem. I thought that
- perhaps the reason "emacs" was core dumping was due to the printk
- in the old stat call. So I commented it out, recompiled and now
- loop patches and df all seem to work fine? Go figure.

- Linus, can printk's like this cause timing problems for the kernel
- or is it something else?
